Camping Adventure

While we were camping, there was no cell service. Which normally I could care less about, but with my car being in the shop and my parents picking it up when it was going to be done. I needed to be in contact with mechanic as well as with my parents. So on Tuesday night, only a day into "no service", Cassie and I went on a little drive to find service.
We drove towards town and along that drive each of us (with the same provider) would have service intermittently but never at the same time, until I was going down the steep hill. I saw a road off to the side and decided to pull off there. It happened to be a dirt road, leading up to property that was for sale, that was gated (although the gate was open.)
We both had service there, so we went about answering texts and calling people (my parents) back. Just as we were about halfway through, a big truck with it's headlights on


starts coming down the road that we are sitting on (mind you- we've blocked the road, so there is no where for them to go). I quickly turn on my lights and start the car engine. I pull out onto the road and start driving up the road. The truck follows us up. I step on the gas, thinking I might loose this person, but to no avail. So I decide to pull off on a side road and the truck follows me. I pull off the road, thinking the truck will pass me, but it doesn't. I hear yelling coming from the truck. So I turn off the car and step out. I yell at her, "We are out camping and we were just looking for cell service. We're sorry we were in your driveway." She listens to me and then yells back, "Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were my friend coming over." I get back in the car and watch her pull back onto the road. She passes us. Cassie and I are dying laughing...cause really who goes out into the middle of no where to find service and then gets yelled.
We let her drive away and then tried to finish up our electronic business, but no service yet again, so we got back on the main road and found another side road to pull off on, making sure it wasn't a driveway, so the people that lived there could get in and out.
