Chuck was driving. Let me clarify that. We went out by Lake Le Homme Dieu to take a look at the big fishing contest today. It was amazing to see a huge parking lot full of cars out on the ice. He did a u-turn on the road to turn around, but even though the shoulder looked flat, it was an optical illusion. The SNOW was plowed flat. The ground under it dropped off. We ended up with our front wheel in the ditch, and couldn't get out.
But the best place to go in the ditch is right by where a whole lot of guys in pickup trucks and SUV's are congregating for an ice fishing contest. Immediately two vehicles stopped, one with an offer of a shovel, and one with a tow strap and a truck. We were out and on our way in 2 minutes. Whew.
(I had my camera with me, but didn't get a photo - it happened too quick. This photo is from the internet.)
