Good Samaritan and shovel
Other helpers on the way to the rescue!!!
We went to the mountain, the irresistible temptation from the wood stirring again as we approached the destination. I insisted driving on the iced packed snow trail and parked deep into the wood; at about 500 meters from the other hiker’s vehicles parked by the street.
The open ground covered with tinted greenish snow and with light purplish patches on the green pines. We hiked for about an hour. When we get back to the truck, the four wheels of my truck froze and sank buried onto the ground, we were totally unprepared.
Fortunately there was a Good Samaritan who lender us a hand and shovel. We needed to build a track in order to move the wheels.
Nature has its charm and often we get too carried away. Winter has the melody of its own; it exerts a pull on the heart. They are three essential things to get you through the winter: warm fire, good wines and dear friends. Three essential gears to bring along driving in the winter, even just ¼ miles off road as you perceive: warm gloves, hot chocolate and definitely a good shovel!
