and so did Jeff, Clover, and I. The trailer, sadly, will be taking up
landfill space likely somewhere in northern UT. A number of
conditions, the perfect storm, if you will, for fish tailing developed
just north of the Utah border. The trailer is no more. The Hell van
survived with a few dents but no structural damage. 99.9% of our
personal belongings in the trailer also survived. Pics will be forth
coming. If this had to happen, I'm sure glad it did it after IDSF and
not on the way there. Now we have an excuse to shop for a toy hauler.

Oh yes, and all four bikes also survived...this includes the one on
the trailer. Let's just say Jeff has a knack for securing things and
I hope I never pull a stoppie like the DR did! :-O

Wow!!! I'm glad to hear you're ok. The DR made it unscathed?

Yep. Thanks to a finely engineered motorcycle carrier & freshly
rebuilt rear bumper.

Baxter, thanks for the yummy dessert on Saturday. Despite your
concerns about my cargo loading that night, everything inside the van
held up just fine during the accident. I attribute this feat to my
enhanced powers of concentration while loading up. ;-) One of the CRF
front ties popped loose, but it was still held in place at the other
end.
At our club meeting tonight, a friend told me he's trying to unload
his '02 20-foot toy hauler for $7500 so he can buy a new bike. I may
have another rig by labor day.

I posted a couple more pictures from SpodeFest on Jeff's thread on
ADV.
More to follow.
