Last night it poured with rain for about 5 hours, not exactly what we wanted. When we got up the rain had stopped, and I figured with the 4 wheel drive and the low gear position we should be able to get out if I took it slowly.
After breakfast the rain started again. I went out and dismantled the Satellite dish, disconnected the electric and water and then went to reverse the truck into position to connect to the trailer. This was the easy part..wrong! I got about 1 truck length back towards the trailer and lost all grip. I managed to gently “rock” the truck to get out of the mus and back onto the roadway. The ruts must have been 6-9″ deep, There was no way I was going to be able to try that again and connect up to the trailer.
Time to pay the office a visit and see what they could do. The two worker bees were all for me staying a few more days until the ground dried out. Luckily the boss man was around and he had other ideas (which would involve a lot of wet work for the worker bees). I went back to the campsite and waited. Not long after a tractor came down the road to help out with the problem.
It’s been a long trying day, part 2 tomorrow!
