What happened?

I was driving on a forest road in Sequoia National Forest when I lost control of my Jeep and ended up upside down in a ditch on the side of the road. Luckily I did not suffer any serious injuries. I was 30-40 miles away from cell service so I had to activate my beacon to get help. The beacon did it’s job flawlessly and help arrived soon after.

Words of wisdom
