Sorry, had to do work stuff and haven't got to it yet.

 

i love that road:

 

Hi Huck

 

Hi Zoeb

 

*gets creepy feeling*

 

I feel a bit responsible because, even though I'd only met him that day, I'm the one who brought the guy along. as I said before, I don't think I qulaified the drive well enough on scionlife. if there are future rides where you'll have us "scones" tag along I'll definately qualify it as a "No kids allowed" drive. I've already posted over there how technical the drive was and that it's a serious thing.

not to justify his behavior, but I think balanz may be right, I don't think keith's head was in the right place after the wreck.

anyway, sorry everyone.

dont take responsibility for someone elses actions. Its just not your fault.

 

That is a YES!. in the past the most cars we've had was 16 cars and at the time i thought that was huge. We started out with 25 this time. and considering how many cars we had i'm just happy we didn't end up running into each other.

john... thanks for the pixs.

and chris... don't sweat it. and i too feel like balanz (micheal) when something like a crash happens you really aren't thinking straight. All you want to do is get home. So i'm not blaming him for leaving although i wasn't there and didn't see the damage.

As far as I could tell, there was no livestock in that pasture, or else I think I would've spoken up about the damage to the fence. It was definitely beyond a casual repair - completely plowed down to the ground, fenceposts and all, leaving an opening of 20 feet or so... Technically speaking, this WAS a hit-and-run due to the property damage, no doubt about that.

 

I was there when we pulled him out, and I didn't think of leaving a note either...

Truth is, it would have been a bit like a band-aid on a broken leg: If a farmer was going to come driving along and notice a note, he would already have noticed the twenty foot hole in his fence.

Like plead7 said, I didn't see any cows. I guess we could have left a note offering to pay for repairs, but that would have been _KIETH_'s perogotive.

Oh well, next time we'll have a plan!
or not.

Please don't feel too responsible here, chris.

I can see you feeling badly if it had happened in the first few miles...
"Oh man, I didn't know we'd be going so fast!!!"

But we'd done over a hundred miles when he lost it... he had steadily worked his way up to the front of the pack to try to run with the fast guys. He knew what he was risking by the time he lost it.

It's not on you at all, as far as I can see.

Get some sticky rubber and brakes, and we'll see you out there next time.

rich,
I'm still laggin on pictures... I'm gonna have to re-install windoze to get uSB back. Soon, I hope.

No way man! Heres a firm believer in taking responsibility for your own actions, not other peoples. I've felt guilty before because a friend wrecked on a drive of mine, sure...but this is a whole different thing entirely. Glad to have you along, and *please* dont feel like you have to apologize to anyone, least of all any of us!

Peace

dood, do you have your camera with you at work? I can swing by with my laptop if you have your camera and cable with you.
Cause I know you took some good pics. =)

I didn't take a pic to remember the moment of his car in the pasture, but I thought this was a pretty pic of the mountain *behind* his car.
