Cammy stepping outside at the lodge right after a little snow had been flying.
Time to head down the hill!

Day 4 ended almost before it began. 80 MPH on cruise and crunch! Kicked a piece of steel off the front tire and right through
the oil pan. Pulled in the clutch and coasted to the side in a cloud of oil smoke. Dumped 2 quarts on the back tire in seconds.
Had this happened in a curve, things could have ended very painfully.

900.00 dollars gets you a U haul and a one way thousand mile drive home in a billboard.

The end.

Thanks for the replys guys. Cammy handled everything fine. The Bagger will be running in no time and we will plan Yellowstone again.

Sometimes things happen for a reason. This was our clear message that we were suppose to head home.
The true bummer of our trip was the phone call we received Sunday telling us of the tragedy that had unfolded in
Lake Havasu. A fine group of kids had their lives ended abruptly and violently for no acts of their own.
Two of these kids I knew personally and had seen in just the last week. The parents of 20 year old Brock Kelson are two
of our best friends. 24 year old Primo Verdome I have know since he was 14 and riding dirt bikes with us on camping trips.
I went to high school with his mom. Brock's funeral is today.
It's going to be one of the roughest days I've had in a long time.

Thanks again for your replys. Godspeed all the victims.
