Four Wheel Dive

I took this photo (using an old film camera) a couple of years ago when we were in Lagayan, Abra. The owner of the jeep was a trader who wanted to bring his goods to the Municipality. The military truck was our security escort and they were about to cross the Abra River on their way back to their barracks when the jeep decided brave the waters. According to the locals those who are not familiar with the river crossing alway fall into this predicament. They got the jeep out eventually.
