Red, Rainy Georgia Clay ....

After it rains, the roads around Tall Timbers Research Station, FL, get greasy.  Sure 'nuff, Graham gets the MSU truck stuck ...


Time to call AAA; except the AAA truck immediately gets stuck too!

 
The second AAA truck driver to arrive is wiser to the ways of Georgia clay - he holds himself in place with winch cables strung to the roadside trees.
 

Then hauls both stuck vehicles back up the hill ...

Tick Gardens: creating new habitat for our friends the spiders ...

Yes, it's a Black Widow - isn't she gorgeous?
