The Excitement Never Ends

Yesterday the newest addition to our house, Pennsylvania who got here two weeks ago, rolled her jeep while out in the field. She is ok and came out with no scratches but some very sore muscles. When telling the story she said she started to fishtail, which has happened to most of us if not all at one time or another, and while she corrected, her front wheel hit something and spun the steering wheel out of her hands directing her down a slope. The jeep rolled 3/4 a roll and the roof was all messed up. Well when I got back from the field today they had picked up the jeep and I was able to look at it. The roof above the driver seat is very much dented in as well as the windshield being massively shattered. Judging from the flat right front tire it has been assumed the blow out from the tire is what caused the roll. As traumatized and shook up as my roommate is it was a good thing that she was the one driving. The riparian team which normally takes that car and is made up of tall people were out on a work camping trip so Pennsylvania got to drive it. Pennsylvania is no taller than 5'1" everyone else probably would have some major head injuries. Anyway the word had spread to just about everyone who works at the BLM within an hour. Most heard from the CB radio and the rest was word of mouth but the only thing people are concerned about is if she is ok. I think she will be making the best of one of our friend's hot tub with jets for a while and she is still a little weirded out by it but she'll be ok.
