Yesterday when coming home for an appointment, a very large tree fell onto the road and blocked traffic. Cars were getting by until someone got stuck in the mud. So what does a gal do who was raised on a farm and has two remote cabins? She drives up, parks her 4runner, gets out in the pouring rain, determines there’s no electrical concerns, and starts pulling limbs and branches off the road. A few other people (and when I say few, I mean three) get out of their vehicles and start helping, one of which pulls up in a truck ties a rope around the largest branch and backs ‘er out. Then she explains to the woman in the stuck vehicle how to put her vehicle in 4 wheel low and get unstuck. After the road is partially cleared and cars are getting by, a cop shows up and pulls out a flare. 🙄As I get back to my vehicle and start to move past the tree, the woman and the stuck vehicle pulls out slowly and gets on her way. I gave her couple horn t***s, and a thumbs up. She waves back and we’re on our way. Crisis averted.
