Huge Hearty Thanks to Norcal, Utah and Fresno riders CHP & CareFlight at Castle Peak

[King o the Hill]

Wade you can join me and my efforts next season as I head a national effort to renew membership... between the stories we all share I think there is a opportunity to "buddy check" and make sure our closest bros and (sis's) have an updated membership..... I just got my bill (already) and it was 14,000.00 just for the helo.... NO PRICE for life but a reminder how spendy it can be for the cost of a gallon of oil.... I am sincerely glad to hear of your successful road ahead of you and your well wishes for my wife...... she is a hell of a rider, friend and companion as everybody in this sport is.... I wish you god speed on your recovery as well and hope to talk to you around festival time! Call me anytime 775-745-0577

God Bless Care Flight and all of our public servants~

King, sorry to hear about things getting worse. I had a nasty wreck on the sierra buttes this weekend. I got beat up pretty bad but walked away. The tecvest and full face helmet saved me for sure. Just really really sore. If I didn't have the right gear, you could have come to visit me down the hall. Almost the same thing, grease like snow... couldn't stop. You guys take care and get her a tec vest!

I hope you get better soon. I can feel for you deeply as I sit here and type this with a cast on my left arm (broke in 8 places) and a Tracheal tube in my throat. I spent 4 days in the ICU after 2 surguries then another 8 days in a regular room. Thankfully I didn't get an infection in my lungs as they had me on breatheing treatments with medication 4 times a day. Was going accros a lake just cruising and all of a sudden there was a sink hole with water at the bottom. I thought I couldn't slow down fast enough cuz I would fall into the lake so I grabbed a handful and tried to clear it. Well didn't clear it and slammed into the bank on the other side. Got nocked out and fell face down in the water that thankfully was only like a foot deep. Then the sled rolled back ontop of me and pinned me face down. My friend saw it and scrambled over and pulled the sled off of me and got me out of the water. Well I slammed my throat onto the bar pad and broke my arm badley. My throat instantly swelled up and it was cutting off my air to my lungs. Reason for story is that the lifelight pilot was able to get a tube down my throat to allow me to get air. The Lifeflight pilot saved my life. The trauma DR said if he wasn't able to get that tube down my throat iI would not be here right now.

Get a Lifeflight membership these guys are heros and I owe them my life as well as my fiend Tom Hassell for preventing me from drowning. I also had every sledder in the area helping and cheering for me. Thank you to fellow sledders and the heroic duties of the Lifeflight people.

I hope Suzanne gets out soon. I feel for you
