At this moment, we were convinced we had made a wrong turn, and we were indubitably lost; thinking we should just turn around, and the day was ruined. Just then, we passed a truck drenched from front to back, top to bottom, with mud. We gave each other a look of excitement and continued on our way; our fears shattered by the sighting of what had to be an attendee of this
