Day 21: Woke up way too early @ fussed and slept a little, thinking about returning to reality. We got out of the motel at 7 after enjoying parking lot coffee with folks we met on CVO Roadglides from Louisiana who where escaping "Harvey". Nice roads headed to somewhere in West AZ, Cortez, Kayenta, AZ, and stopped in Cameron at a nice touristy place for a nice late breakfast. Headed out and we were enjoying it until 14 miles south on Hwy 89 we were right behind an SUV that got wacked on a 90 degree head on; saw it getting ready to happen, flinched, panic ABS braked, impact, oncoming vehicle shot right across in front of us, I blacked out and next thing sitting in debris field of demolished car that had been travelling in front of me. We pulled over and rushed to call 911 and render assistance; two elderly folks, lady driver severely injured, and husband in passenger better off, poor fellow in oncoming, deceased. Forever, 45 minutes, the EMS arrived. We were there for what seemed like a long time and eventually released; feeling drained but the freedom of just getting away from that horrible scene calmed me some. Set our sites on Lake Havasu due to circumstances and hit a wicked short hail and rainstorm west of "flag" on the "40". Warm getting into Havasu & quickly settled and into the pool at the Knights Inn downtown across from a chill Irish Bar. A little Irish Whiskey and moment to share company with a loved one while reflecting on what we have to be thankful for, wonderful scenery, loved ones, experiences, travel, freedom, motorcycles; don't take any thing for granted, there is no promise for tomorrow.
