Yesterday the goddess and I went walking our giant marshmallows through the deep and drifting snow on the road I usually like to hike. It was a good walk. The sun came out and was very warm while we were slogging through drifts. On the way home we slid off the road, just enough to be stuck, and having the back tire off the ground. Well, all for adventure the goddess said the logging trucks would be coming down soon and sure enough they did. The first guy said he was uncertain and didn't want to try to pull us out but the second guy did. He put chains on his loaded truck (he was pulling a loaded trailer too), took a log chain off the trailer and wrapped it around my trailer hitch. The he backed up. It didn't take much and we were out! It was very slippery on that corner.
The guys told us they will probably only be up the road hauling logs for another couple of weeks. I said that was disappointing because we look forward to watching their progress and seeing them on the road. I shared our story on facebook and with another friend whose boyfriend is formerly a logger. He, and she, both know the guys that so graceously pulled us out and told me their 'names' are Wiener and Hickey. She said I should call them by their names the next time I see them but I suggested that I didn't think I could possibly do that. They are wonderful guys to have helped us out but I don't think I want to know how they got those names.
