Are you in the middle of nowhere, or near a city or town of some sort? Are there any phone boxes? Do you have an insurance company you can call?

We were in the middle of nowhere, but God gave us enough battery to get within walking distance of a Walmart. We replaced the battery, but it was actually the alternator that's going out, so we were able to get to a hotel with the new battery, and we're going to get it replaced tomorrow, and we'll hopefully be able to get there before my elderly relative's birthday party. But boy, was it close. The little meter kept going up and down.
