I'll let Larry tell it.
You remember that Goat trail down from the train look-out. I didn't see any goats where we were. They were all down off the steep stuff.

The "Goat Trail" is a good comparison, sets the stage, now take away the trail. I was downhill and trying to find/make a route down a draw. I tried to crosshill and got a rock under the rear uphill tire. I felt it go, thought a little gas may get the rear to slide downhill. Too little too late, over it went. Full roll into a pine tree, sweet save.

Even then I was still trying to convince Mr. Bill we could make it.....his comment......"I'm glad Ken's not here, he'd kept going"

I have four days of pictures, probably close to 600 total.

A few scratches on the plastic, cracked one of my hand guards. I had just put on some Eiger bars, about 1 1/2" taller and with the hardcase on back I think the protected the lower items. Considering the terrain I think I'm pretty lucky there wasn't more damage. And.....I bruised my ass....want to see a picture :lol:
