Pretty soon we are reloaded and the buck-truck is clonking its way down the side-road. A grassy lane runs off to the right of the road.
I slow down to make a turn down the lane. the WeenerMan shakes his head, "Too grassy, the Horse-Granny said first road, a road would be paved or have at some gravel on it."
So we trod along further along the side road and get to a atretch that runs in such a way that it split a sizeable woodlot in half. We see a female figure walking slowly along in the berm. She appears to be carrying two five-gallon buckets full of mushrooms.
The Weenerman recognizes who it is and leans out the and calls out, "Twistine!!"
The young woman hears the truck and the voice call her name and turns and starts waving wildly.
I let up on the speed and the buck truck slows to a stop beside her.
Twisty takes one look at who her would-be rescuers are and frowns, "Someone needs a knight in shining armor, and who do I get? The Barney-Bums!!"
