The Plot Thickens

Thursday Mom and Dad started towards Garden Valley, that is where the property is, they were 150 miles south of Sacramento. We did not hear from them until about 5:00 pm. They thought they were lost, not yet to Placerville, tired, hungry, just generally exhausted, I could hear Dad's disgust in every word. "Where the hell are we?" Uh oh, maybe it is too far out there for them. So they call when they finally make it to Garden Valley, to the realtor's, everything seems okay they say. I am thinking "I don't dare tell them about the huge fire that is spewing ashes, here, at this moment. I cried when mom told me they made it to the realtors. I thought thank God, the worry is over. Boy, I could have not been more wrong, now mom was calling 30 minutes later to tell me that they were 3 miles from the property. There was a tow truck in front of them, going down this road that only leads to the property, and low and behold it is Gordon and Trudy being towed, they got stuck. An that was all we heard last night. Nice, Huh? We do not know if everything is okay, or if they are all on their way home...
