Stuck

We went out to the Boy Scout camp last night arond 8:30 to drop off a few things for Delaney. He was missing his coat, and good raingear, and we were a little worried about him. So Tia, Kendall, and I drove out there, found the camp, and then got stuck in the mud.

9:00pm, pitch dark, and we were stuck. We'd driven down the dirt road to his camp, and it was slippery, but navigable. Once we saw the leader, and dropped off his stuff, however, we realized we couldn't turn around. A bus had gotten stuck in the mud ahead of us and was blocking the road.

We tried to back out, me driving and Tia walking next to the car and navigating, but we reached a place where things got muddy, there was a slight turn, and the car slid into the ditch. Fortunately one of the leaders there lent us his car and we drove home, getting back between 10:30 and 11. We took the car back this morning, with Tia's truck, but it was too slippery to pull the Prius out. In fact, Tia almost got stuck as well, and ended up driving out through a field.

So now sure what to do now. Maybe go back tomorrow when it's dried a bit and try, or call AAA tomorrow and meet them there.
