Last night my friends, Phina, Sarah, Tiffany and I all went down to Santa Rosa (Santa Rosa is about an hour from where I live, and you have to travel over two mountains in order to ge there) to go to the Barn (a soaking room). We had an awesome time, just sitting in the prescence of God, fun stuff!!! We left the barn around 10ish, and went to Safeway to get dinner. After Safeway, we headed home, it was after 10:30 pm. We had gotten over the first mountain and were headed up the second, when Sarah turned around because the gas tank was on empty. We got about 2 miles away from the nearest gas station when the truck died, by this time it was a little after 11pm. We didn't know what else to do besides walk to the gas station to get a gas can, and fill it with gas. Phina stayed on guard and the rest of us walked to the gas station. It was pitch black and pouring down rain, and we didn't have jackets or anything. It took like 20 mins. to get to the gas station, because we had to take a few pee brakes on the way. So we finally got to the gas station, and guess what, they were all out of gas cans. It was funny but at the same time we were soaking wet and tired. We were trying to find something that might hold gas, but they kicked us out because they were closing. So we stood outside trying to call our friend Joe who lives in Calistoga, but Joe wouldn't answer his phone. (It was around 12:15 am now.) So we decided that it was time to call the cops. Tiffany was on the phone for over 10 mins. with the 911, telling them our location and all that good stuff. Finally, after 12:30, the police came and picked us up. He took us to the Shell gas station, which was a few minutes down the road. We went insided to buy a gas can, and the didn't even carry gas cans. Luckily, they had one in the back that was used, and he let us borrow it. The man at the counter wanted us to give him $20 to hold till we got back to give back the gas can. But all we had was a debit card and $7. So he took the $7, which was Tiffany's, and let us go. Whe finally got back to the truck, and it was after 1 am. The cops helped us put the gas in the tank, because we couldn't do it. Oh, I forgot to mention that we got this whole fiasco on video, oh yeah!! After they finished, we went back to the Shell station to return the gas can so Tiff could get her $7 back, then Sarah filled the tank up the rest of the way, and we headed back on the road. We got home a few minutes before 2am, and went to bed. It was a long night, but it was so much fun.............
