“I was definitely thinking we were going to flip - these things are known for that you know.”

Pretty awesome how you can be cruising along comfortably at 50mph one second, and the next thing you know you are completely sideways, sliding out of control off the side of the road. Andrew and I are driving over to Richland this morning and we are ascending the Snoqualmie pass in his mother’s 1997 Toyota 4-Runner with no CD player, and all of a sudden we are sliding to the left while the car is rotating right. Not much you can do in a situation like that except hope for the best.

So we slide off the left side of the road where it starts to slope down…and since we are sideways at this point, I am thinking there is a good chance that we are going to roll over and our whole trip would be cancelled and Andrew would be in debt forever. Luckily we did not tip over, and once we got in a bit of a rut off the side of the road the car straightened out and came to a halt about 10 feet before a barrier.

Andrew: “I had it under control. I wouldn’t mind doing it again actually!”
