She crossed her fingers and said a silent prayer.
This stretch of the dirt road always turned into an evil soup of clay
and mud after a hard rain.
Taking a deep breath, she clutched the steering wheel and drove calmly
into the muck.
Her car came to a sloppy, lurching halt.
She pulled out her phone and started to dial her dad about 20 miles
away.
The car suddenly inched forward, and she dropped the phone in surprise.
Peering out the window, she watched them push her car to safety.
She nervously smiled and waved, and they waved back.
