Stuck

On the way down, I got deeply mired in a giant mud puddle. First an SUV with two German ladies tried to pull me out. Then they got stuck! Finally, a truck that had 8-wheel drive (the back two axles) pulled the SUV out and then the SUV got on firmer ground and pulled me out succesfully.

The whole time, about twenty Maasai kids were "helping". The savior of the day was the truck driver. He even lay in the mud under my car to tie up the winch cable. What an amazing guy! (I did pay him for his trouble.)
