Blazer Roll Over

Okay this is the before picture. Sheldon's pride and joy. His baby bessie. Just newly washed and waxed. He is so proud of it he had to take a picture. (I only married him for the Blazer and now it is no more. Now what am I going to do?)

We rolled over once and a half. We think. We can't really remember cuz everything was going so fast. But Sheldon's side was the only side that got damaged. It is kind of hard to see in these pictures cuz they are just from his phone.

Here it is from the inside. The windshield is toast. Cracked everywhere and the window frame is bent as you can see in the next picture. This was incredibly scary and I won't recommend it to anyone to do.

After we rolled it back over on its wheels it started to go down the mountain again. Luckily there were some thick sagebrush and a small hill for it to stop at. We left it there till the next day cuz it was getting really dark and we could hardly see anymore.

And here it is right after the accident. Sheldon took a picture pretty much right after it happened. After we rolled he got his seatbelt off and had to come help me cuz mine was tight and he had to undo it for me. Then we climbed out his door (the one that is open).

This is sheldon here. Well i was planning on driving tothe top of chinc's peak just south east of pocatello so we could eat a little dinner and watch the sunset. I started up a trail i knew that led to the top but i had never been up it before. The blazer was doing really good and was having no trouble going up the trail. The trail reached a spot with a really steep long hill and i put it into 4 lo and started up with no trouble. we got past the steepest part of the hill and was still going up when the carb got chocked out because the hill was too steep for the fuel to get injected properly so the blazer died right on the side of a very large hill. At this point i become very nervous because in the back of my head i knew what could happen. I tried several times to get it started but it just would run on that steep hillside. I told holly to get out because i was going to try to back down the best i could but she didn't want to leave me. Since i couldn't get it to run i had no power and no brakes and we rushed down the hill backwards for atleast a football length. It all happen so fast I had little time to think or react. when we fisrt started down the hill i knew i couldn't let it roll because that would have been deadly so i kept it as straight as i could and we reached a point where i knew we couldn't go backwards anymore and i had to roll it to stop it. It turned out i rolled it just at the right time and place to keep us from going down the whole mountain. This experience was the scariest thing that i have ever been through and it was not fear for myself but for my wife holly who i love so much. after we finally came to a stop i was able to help holly out of her seat belt and we both climbed out. I had only one small scratch on my thumb and holly was perfectly fine. The seat belts and the roll cage saved our lives. But all the credit really goes to our loveing heavenly father who truly protected us through this whole experience. We truly were blessed.

See I found it! They are really cool. Don't know what it means. Maybe someone was just bored hundreds of years ago and so they decided to draw on a rock. I seem to remember a few people who thought it was cool to paint on rocks...

This is Moab. It is just so beautiful there. That was my favorite part. The scenery was just so cool. There was a place we went hiking to and it still is the coolest place I have ever been to in my life. It was just awesome. I don't know why I didn't take any pictures. When we go in September we will for sure take some pictures.

Me and Sheldon in Moab. This was our first day there. It was fun. There were some cool pictures on the rocks that were like hundreds of years old. I know I took a picture. I will find it and post it.

Sheldon being Sheldon. Weird. Climbing on the rocks and doing dangerous things like always.

Here is Sheldon and his cousin Spencer. We were in Spencer's jeep (the nerd sold it recently) in Moab. It really was some crazy fun. I would recommend it to you all but you should go with someone who knows what they are doing. It can get a bit scary in places. Okay really scary in places. I know these pictures are from when Sheldon and I were dating but we are going to Moab in September again and so I have been thinking about it.
