The picture pretty much tells the whole story, but just in case you need clarification ... stupid musher forgets to fill up ATV before going out on a long run. Facebook and Sarah save the day!!!!
Thankfully a bit of technology can even reach out into the Tawatinaw River valley, so using my iPhone I was able to get a Facebook message to Sarah, who phoned me and she agreed to meet me in Rochester with a jerry can of gas.
Yes, the team could have pulled a dead ATV home, in fact it would have been easier for them, as when I have it running, I have it in gear and have the team working against the engine resistance - but without headlights it wouldn't have been very safe - and without handwarmers I wouldn't have been as comfortable! =)
So Sarah saved us!!! Thanks Sarah !!! =)

I'm having trouble following this: so you could not phone Sarah but you could send a message on Facebook and even though you couldn't phone her, she could phone you. Who's on first?
Actually - yes. I can't phone her cell, as it is a NZ one and we can't seem to sort a cell to cell call out between our phones. She would unlikely be in the house - and doesn't check messages - so reaching her on the land line wouldn't work - so Facebook it was!!! (My message was that nothing was seriously wrong but to give me a call on my cell. Which she did from the house phone!!! Everything in my life is always more complicated then normal, it seems!!!) =)
Well good on you for thinking out of the box :-)
