I have thought about your getting stuck so many times since I first read this post. I cannot tell you how many times I managed to get my old Land Rover - the one that was supposed to ford rivers and climb mountains - stuck in high muddy streams. It is not easy getting old heavy vehicles out and running again. I miss my Land Rover. Ridgie, my middle son, turned it upside down in our creek coming across our bridge after a “driving lesson” with Buddy. NOT GOOD! geniegeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17475608100401444065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685880837517606009.post-61729825998407388922011-11-25T21:03:47.623+08:002011-11-25T21:03:47.623+08:00Wow..what an adventure you've had.
