Bummer to hear about the delay.
Bummer to hear about the wreck too.
Hope you are alright and the motorcycle rider too...
They must have been moving along at a pretty good clip to cause that kind of damage to an automobile. _________________ round n' round we go! |

I am alright and technically, the truck is alright too. It's just that all of the rear light lens smashed so not legal. Too much other body work required to just pick up replacement lens at a junkyard and get it working quickly. Motorcycle driver survived but still hauled away to medical treatment. Not sure of his injuries and insurance advises not to call and ask. I'd guess that he had a few broken ribs, maybe broken hand or leg, but nothing extreme. He collided doing about 40-45.. the thing that saved his life is that he hit the passenger corner and skidded off the truck rather than hitting me dead on. The dent made by his helmet shows that we was EXTREMELY lucky to be wearing one. |

| Good thing the person is still alive. It only takes one accident to realize that you should be wearing a helmet! I harped on my friend for months, until he got into an accident and then proceeded to wear all his gear every time he was on his cycle. |

I am looking forward to doing them!
I have only done your Halloween caches for the past two years, but they are always creative, and challenging. _________________ "We never seek things for themselves-what we seek is the very seeking of things"-Pascal |

Will these caches turn into a pumpkin after October 31st or will the be around for a while?
(I'm asking for selfish reasons, after hearing such good things about previous years I've added doing them to my goals for this year, but I'm going to be away for a part of October & November - was curious if they'd still be around near the end of November? I'm not asking to keep them around, just wondering what you had planned.) |

No immediate plans to pull them. |

I'll be taking a reporter/photographer out on Friday for some caching and will be hitting several of these caches. Won't be able to do them all with him but will get several. _________________ Airborne All the Way! |
