What do you get when you attempt to drive down a steep incline that is icy and snow packed? You get stuck in the ditch!

My trip to see the McSwains started with a wrong turn down a steep road in a beautiful setting. Doing my best to keep my front wheel drive car on the road was pointless. No sooner had I turned onto the snow covered, icy road did I find myself in the ditch.

With a wheel in the air and tires deep in snow, I tried my best to get out, but to no avail. The herd of cattle that saw my predicament soon all gathered by the fence just five feet away mooing and staring! Apparently, they thought I was there to feed them!

A phone call to Amanda McSwain was the next step and she was gracious enough to tell her husband, who soon came to my rescue! Two more people stopped to help and I was fortunate enough to get out of the ditch!

Even though it took another failed attempt at getting back onto the correct road and having to leave my car at the bottom of the hill, I made it to the McSwains and was very thankful for their help!
