TELEPHONE TRANSCRIPT, Central Exchange Monitoring, September 14th, 1964.
Tobias? This is Francis Cooke! Yeah, the scientist! I've got a bit of an update for you. I'm afraid it's bad news.
Those drums of experimental gravity gel we were sending back to you are not going to get there. Neither is the truck, it seems. We had some kind of atmospheric shift and then more Anomalies than I think I've ever seen before. Everyone's safe, but our driver has a broken leg and, as for the gel ...
Well, the whole strip of road between our lab site and that old gas station got smeared and scrambled, so now it's more like some kind of giant trampoline. I'm not kidding. Anything that touches that road just takes off. It's starting to spread to some of the forest and swamp nearby. It's not that the gel is just spilled on the ground, it's like it's a part of the ground now, a part of the earth itself.
So I guess you can update your inventory logs on that. Is there some kind of ... maintenance request that I should file for this?

Synopsis
Airstrips are lines of glowing blue gel that when driven over will launch the car into the air. They will also launch The Driver into the air if walked over.
Counter
The only known method of preventing this anomaly from launching your car into the air is total avoidance.
Junction Conditions
The intensity of these anomalies is increased when a junction has the The Gravity of the Situation condition in effect.
