This is why shortcuts down old dirt roads are just not worth the 45 minutes they supposedly save. We were 20 km (out of 1000km that we travelled) from home when this happened. The good news (actually miraculous news) is that we happened to find the 2 meters of the entire 40km backroad that had cel phone service. Seriously! We had the phone turned on for the rest of the way home and the service was non-existent! God definately took care of us in the situation. We were able to contact a tow-truck that arrived within 45 minutes and we were back home 2 hours after the initial tire blowout. The other amazing thing is that we think the tire may have been going flat before we even got on the road. So had we been travelling the 110km/hour on the highway instead of the 70km/hour on a secluded dirt road we could have been in a serious accident! God is so good! Check out the photos below!

Thanks Dee. I find time because sometimes sitting at the computer while holding a baby is the only thing I can do. Typing with one hand and breastfeeding is one of my more impressive skills.
