Stuck in the snow.

Hi,
For my birthday we rented a little cottage in Ucluelet.
But to get there was a long road, there was that big storm 2 days ago and there was still a lot of damage everywhere and some places didn't had any power back.
So we started the +2 hour drive, we did a stop at Coombs to see the  goats on the roof. We did not find the goats, I guess they were inside with this weather. We did go into the shop and bought some snacks for the road. We wanted to stop at Cathedrall grove to see the big trees, but it was closed cause of the weather. So we only stopped once more for a pitt stop, we needed some petrol in the car and a hot drink for on the road. And this was the last village before our final destination, so we would drive in nature for a long time. It was raining but the nature was so beautiful, then we saw some snow and we found it so nice and great with Christmas coming. But then the snow got really bad, like really really bad!!! At one point going up the cars before us started to stop, so we all stopped.

Then after 10min or so we started driving again...some cars got up the little hill, but then the truck in front of us got stuck in the snow going up the hill. So we needed to stop again, then cars started to pass the truck so we were like, ok lets try this, we got next to the truck but then it didn't want to go any further and the truck driver was like, you girls are making the road slippery like this, just go back behind me the snow truck will be here any minute. So we waited, then the snow truck arrived, but made a big pile of snow in the middle of the road. A lot of cars started to go again, but the truck was still stuck. Then a car got stuck mid hill next to the truck and people started to push the car, my sister went and helped.
All this time it's still snowing really bad. So then someone told me to go and drive, my sister and 3 other people started to push the car and we went up the hill. Then one of the guys said "don't stop driving now", so I yelled to my sister "RUN", she ran and jumped into the driving car. Finally we could continue. The weather went from snowing bad, to snowing just a little, to raining so much!!! Finally we got at the end of the road and in Ucluelet. We checked into our little cottage. It was the cutest place, they put up christmas lights on the cottages, so nice!! After such a horrible/stressful drive we were so happy to get there. Our small cottage was also so cute. Once settled in we went back to the office to get some free DVD's. So we watched a movie and went to bed.
This was the most stressful ride I've ever had. We just don't have that kind of snow in Belgium.
But now I know I can do this :)
Love,
Sarah
