Ejected from vehicle (seatbelts?), and police believe that alcohol was a factor. Sometimes we are our own worst enemies.  :(

I hope that they both make it out okay.

That explains all the lights flashing on the way home, but did they ever find the missing guy that they were looking for durin the day?

Hmmmmm,

They must have turfed right behind us.  I don't recall seeing a Jeep coming in, but I do recall quite a few drunken idiots at the campground and in a rather large and a rather small Chev.  Those EMS guys were hauling arse when they went by me, even the big Diesel unit they run was roaring like a runaway freight.

Seems like Waip is becoming what McLean was.

People annoy me.............I think I will build a rocketship and move to mars..........I bet the wheeling is good there.

It seems like the one we saw on Saturday early Morning is a different one ... :o It was a Jimmy near Bar-C ranch just past Richards Rd.

That's a second one and I beleive one of the 2 ladies didn't make it (not 100% for sure).  :'(
