Hey everybody
On Saturday Pat Charron and I went out to clear some brush on class VI roads around Antrim, NH. After working together for about 3 hours, Pat walked on ahead to cut some overhanging brush up ahead. I heard her yelling for me and headed up the trail - she had gotten nearly 1/4 mile away from our jeeps when she fell and twisted her ankle. I walked back down and brought her jeep up, got her some water and asprin, and talked things over. She felt that it was only sprained, and with her high boots providing support wanted to get back in her jeep and drive. We got her up and into the jeep, where she felt well enough to drive. Drove out of the woods to a shopping center, where Scott Hatch from NEA met us - we had called him from in the woods. Pat insisted that she was OK, and drove herself to an urgent care center near her home. X-ray shows a broken bone in her ankle, so she's off of her feet for a while.
Perfect example of why you never go offroading alone.
