LD Adventure, Day 2: Picnic Lunch

After checking out dams & views & hiking at Aha Falls & lifting the van's front tires out of a hole, we were ready for a nice picnic lunch in a small village (Sosu?) along the NE coast, where they were doing some land reclamation in the bay using some large heavy machinery.

Just before our lunch stop Josh was turning the van around in the yard of a community building & simultaneously reading a map, he managed to find the only 2 broken drainage ditch covers with the front tires of the van. That got the van firmly stuck in the ditch! So while Betsy drove in reverse, Ana, Robin & Josh lifted the front wheels with all their might. Fortunately, it worked & the van was successfully freed. Here is a photo of the mock re-enactment for the camera:
