The Really Bad Road to MTC

On Wednesday May 5, 2010 I was working on the path to the recycle when Anna came down and asked if I would go with pastor Cornelius to get her car loose, that her husband, pastor Roche, had high centered on some rocks.  It is not obvious, but the passenger side front wheel is blocked by one big rock in the front and an even larger vertical rock just behind the wheel and up against the underside of the wheel well.  Cornelius jacked up the side of the car and we were able to remove the two rocks with some pushing, shoving and maneuvering.  We placed the flat rock under the front tire and drove the car onto the "road".  This is the worst spot in the mile long road to MTC but there are two more than are just about as rocky and rough.  The road has many potholes that are often full of water runoff from the irrigated fields.  We had ridden the VW minibus to get to this spot and we bounced back home with three of us on the front seat.  Pastor Roche was bringing Deborah to MTC to attend the seminar.
Yes, that is a white horse in the background.  They put front leg hobbles on the horses and let them eat the greens on the roadsides.
