Hi,
I just got back from a mothers day search in a wilderness area for a mother and daughter feared killed in 2001. I love the family and friends and a few times a year we all go out searching for something to help us discover what happened to these two women.
It was raining hard this morning and I was met by only one person. But we went out and I got a ride in a huge truck that went where no other vehicle should go. What a wild ride....the truck was listing and lurching....I thought we might tip over....okay I'm exaggerating, but only a little! It was raining and the tiny forest road was a river and we were balancing from rock to rock....tipping and sliding. We met up with a fellow searcher on an ATV and he tootled ahead of us and then his vehicle ran into a huge pond in the road. We stopped and watched. The water was almost 5 feet deep and mucky. The two men had to pull the stalled ATV around and pull it out of the water. Both men were over waist deep in a water filled bog. It was intense as the rain was pouring from the clouds. After an intense struggle we got out and road back in the truck pulling the ATV behind as we tipped and slid back to more level ground.
We gathered with the family at our original meeting site and shared experiences.Anyway that's what I did today.
I hope your mothers day was very special.
