The Pull Out

Last night around 10:00pm just as I was getting into the shower a puppy starts to scream, took off running even before grabbing the towel as Emma is probably sitting on the poor thing. Really it was just under her leg and once repositioned I turned around to head back into the bathroom and glance out the window. Someone is out there! Here I was with NOTHING on, the towel was wrapped around and the window checked again just praying it was only my reflection but no there really was someone out side my door. Sarah walked in and asked, "What in the world are you doing with no clothes on?" She doesn't even wait for an answer but tells me there is a car in the ditch and it is bad but no one is hurt. Mark and Mike went to the rescue. For this they needed both the skid steer and the yanmar. Mark brought the skid steer in first, turned it around to face the front of the car. Mike hooked up a strap from the car to the bucket so Mark could stop the car from dropping down into the ravine as it was being pulled.

Below is Mike bringing down the yanmar.

Below is Mike after he checked out the car scaling the cliff up. This does not show how steep it was as the camera had to be held over the car to get his picture. We do not know why the car didn't roll.
Once the Yanmar was hooked up at the back and the skid steer in the front, Mike started to lift the car and pull it out.

Now the entire time all of this was being done there was lightning lighting up the sky continuously. Huge flashes with the thunder rolling, wind blowing but no rain.
They were able to get the car up and it was driveable.

Mike took off first taking the yanmar back. As the skid steer was being driven back the heavens opened and the rain started falling in sheets. Mark did not have the window on in the skid steer and he had to drive west, right into the rain. He was completely drenched by the time the skid steer was back in the barn. It was getting late but the wind was so fierce it felt like the building was shaking. We were considering getting in the car and driving over to someone's basement. By this time it was close to midnight so we decided to wait it out and fell asleep to the sound of driving rain.
