Our Wreck!
As we left 322 to take a "short cut" we rounded a bend in the road and watched Mark's van go over the bank and into the woods. I am sure I hollered slow down loud enough for Mark to hear it in the van ahead of us and our walk talkies were of no use. To make a long story short Wayne dodged a big tree and Mark's van and settled down off the road into the woods as well. After waiting for AAA we decided to get them out ourself. I am not sure how we were able to get them out. Wayne had studded snow tires on and he came out fairly easy with some pushing. Mark's van was down in a little more and had many obstacles to over come. It was sitting high sided with the right tire off the ground. With some pieces of wood we were able to get wedged under the tire it was able to move backwards. We got it jockeyed around and was able to push pull and with Kenton and I hanging off the right front fender for added weight for tractions we were able to get the van up out of the woods.

Hiking 2 miles in the dark in a woods we had never been before.
After almost 2 miles we arrived at the "pipeline".
If you look at the bottom of the pipeline you can see 3 guys standing.

With my warped sense of humor, I noticed the picture of Rev. Fultz "calling AA." Then I thought ~ "He ran off the road . . . any connection?" :)
Actually I am sure at midnight off in a ditch the first thing the AAA dispatch lady thought of was... "yeah right icy roads...how about too much drinking!"
Mark did seem to try to emphasize that it was the condition of the road and not the incapacity of the driver.

Being that "AA" is Alcoholics Anonymous . . . . more evidence
(Okay ~ I know you meant "AAA")
