Tuesday, we went to visit another organization to learn about their experience with Farmer Field School. We got out to a community and had a chance to talk with one farmer and then it started to rain. She invited us into her house to wait out the rain, but it continued to pour for sometime (incidently that kind of rain is totally unexpected this time of year). When there was a bit of a break, I suggested we move on since we had other sites to visit. However the road was slick and with absolutely no traction we ended up careening off the road and into was was essentially a mud pit. Our attempts to get out by spinning the tires only dug us in deeper until we were buried up to the axles. We tried all kinds of things to get out, collecting rocks to put under the tires, digging, even jacking up the truck so we could get rocks right under the tires (at which point the jack broke). Finally after about 3 hours and 20 metres of getting stuck and unstuck repeatedly, we finally got ourselves onto dry land and safely back to a paved road. Everyone was exhausted and cold since we were soaked from the rain which continued to pour and make the job more challenging. Below is me making my contribution to getting us free. Even the farmer we had talked to came and helped.
