To the man in the truck driving on Mud Bay Road Saturday, shortly before noon: Thank you for pulling over and releasing our black Toyota RAV4 from the snow’s slushy grip. You could have easily continued driving, but after spotting us, you graciously backtracked. You then pulled the vehicle we had overestimated out of the driveway with your tow-rope. We were in a hurry, and you helped salvage the Saturday afternoon we almost lost.
Thank you also to the other Haines people who, during the last couple of winters, have taken the time to stop and help a stranger stuck in the snow.
Eileen McIver and Karen Garcia
