They showed the lady being carried out...EMS had to hike BACK up the path, I think they said 2 miles, to get her and carried her out pretty securely straped into one of those rescue baskets! I got the impression she couldn't walk OR ride.

They said she was in Fair Condition. That's not great, but not likely life-threatening. She could have multiple broken bones. She'd be in Good condition with a couple of broken bones and bumps and bruises. Fair is still hurt pretty bad.

Her family had time to get there and watch as they were carrying her out...they were all clumped together in that way that people do when something bad has happened but they really can't do anything but stay back and watch.

I saw all this on the news last night and really was thinking it could be Becky! I was right up at the TV looking, thinking "Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh!"...but didn't recognize the trailer and didn't recognize any of Becky's family members (I've met several.)

That vet is a hero, in my opinion...deserves an award.

Oh, the lady was apparently talking, because the vet (whom the news was interviewing) said "She told me she was hoping someone would notice her down there!" I guess she couldn't shout...maybe broken ribs?

Well, given how Becky was missing from here one morning this week, it's good that we didn't know about this until after she logged back in!
