About 5-1/2 miles from town I met a truck with a double snowmobile trailer heading up in the opposite direction. As we approached each other, I could see there wasn’t going to be much clearance between our rigs, so I slowed way down and tried to hug the right-side snow berm as tightly as pos- sible. But the snow had got- ten heavy by that time of day and in a flash, the truck veered right, through the snowbank, and then down into the ditch. I was already in 4-wheel drive and tried to drive out the other end, but to no avail. The truck was good and stuck. As I hoisted open the door to haul myself out, I could see that the other pickup had stopped and was now backing up.

I mentioned something about being glad things hadn’t been worse, appreciating his help, and wondered out loud what the tow was going to cost. He said, “don’t worry about it, I took care of the bill when I called the tow truck.” I pro- tested, but he shrugged off my concerns, said goodbye and drove on up the road. In about 20 minutes the nice Davis guy showed up and made quick work of pulling me out — no appar- ent damage. I walked over to his truck and asked what I owed. His response — “not a dime!” Sure enough, the pickup driver had given his credit card info when he called in the tow!
