 |
| Really like this place |
 |
| Pink hair? Valley Girls coming to the mountains I guess |

 |
| It will last a long time, fossils do. |

 |
| On I-15. I was rolling along at 70, pulling the bike on a trailer. This Gold Wing passed like I was stopped. It was "The Boomers"! Ryan and Shannon. Shortly after they were gone with the wind, Shannon dropped her camera. She did find it...in several pieces. 85 MPH impact with the concrete was a little more than it was designed for. Warranty might be out of the question. |
