Labored Breathing

As Tom pulls out he hears the sound of rushing water at the bottom of the driveway. Turning into the creek it appears passable but as he gets further along the jeep is slowing down and twice nearly gets stuck. Tom's not going to make it to the upper part of the driveway to have a chance to get out. Spotting high ground Tom pulls the jeep up and waits out the next 45 minutes for the rain to slow before returning to the lodge.
