We really enjoyed Elva and ReVon when they came for a visit. They stayed with us here in our 5th Wheel. They came for the 4th of July Week-end. We went touring on Saturday to the Lower monument at the base of Rocky Ridge. Decided to take the scenic route over the Hudson Atlantic and to some of the support roads for the trek groups. We also traveled along the National Historic trail and had quite an adventure before ending up at Rock Creek Hollow.
We came to this bogg in the middle of the trail. Uhm, do you hink we aught to drive thru it? No, maybe not right thru it, let's just drive to the side of it. HA! I don't think that was a bright idea. Now what are we going to do? I know, I'll get my hitch out and see if i can jack up the truck. Then maybe I can put a big rock under the tire to get some traction. But before I can do anything, Beth made me take off my white shirt and socks and shoes so I wouldn't get them muddy.
After spending an hour trying to get us unstuck, Beth finally thought of using the phone to see if she could get a hold of the office at the Willie Center and get the phone number for the missionaries at Rock Creek Hollow and see if Elder Freeman could come and pull us out. The connection was scratchy but we were able to get the info to Elder Freeman. We waited for about 45 minutes and then Doug tried to call and see if Elder Freeman was having any vehicle trouble on the trail somewhere. Doug couldn't get any service on the phone. About 10 minutes later we could see a white ford coming down the trail to help us. We were blessed with a tender mercy, phone service just long enough to get help coming. After getting unstuck we passed by this old Pony Express station. And then on into Rock Creek Hollow and enjoyed the sights there before heading to Atlantic City for dinner at the Grubsteak and on into Lander for the fireworks show.
