Adventure

So Justin and I had an adventure today. It was pretty fun too. For the past couple of weekends we have been looking at houses. Today we went out to look at houses with our realtor who is also our friend. We are driving on U-111 and we figured out that the road we needed didn't have a turn off on there so we decided to go off-roading (I think thats the term). So we were cutting through this huge field/dirt pile that wasn't really that big if you saw it. We were doing just fine had to turn around a couple of times because we turned the wrong way while trying to get to the road we wanted to be on. We get to the end and we have to make it over this hill to get our car back on the road and not in the mud (the ground was all wet and snowy). So Justin and our realtor and in our realtor's truck try to make it over this huge pile of mud and snow and they get high centered. Luckily there was a guy there in a truck who was also trying to do the same thing so he pulled them back down over the pile to come out a different way. I had walked down and found a spot where they could come out of so they tried it. They got stuck there too. It was flat and everything but there was a lot of snow so of course no way for them to get out. So the other truck makes it over the part where we couldn't and comes to pull us out of where we were. Two tow ropes and a chain later we are still stuck and not going anywhere. So some other gentlemen come and are trying to help us when these "rednecks" come and start to dig us out. They are using their shovels and trying to get the tires out from all the snow. The gentlemen leave because they had somewhere to be and the first truck had left long before them and we were still stuck. Finally a last guy had come and we used his tow rope along with all the shoveling we had got the truck out of the mud and snow and back on the road. The last guy who came we broke both hooks on his tow rope and because it was stuck and the hook broke, it sprang back and broke our realtors grill on his truck. I felt so bad! This had taken us like 2 and a half hours just to get us out! We thought we would have been done looking at houses by then but it was a fun experience. We now have a story to laugh about. We were talking to our friend and were like its a good thing it was with us 'cause no one else would have let you do that or had this much fun! As a side note, the truck was out of gas when we first got stuck and it was very cold outside! It started to rain on us thats how long we took.
