From: PrairieRider on 10 Aug 2010 16:03 and so did Jeff, Clover, and I. The trailer, sadly, will be taking up landfill space likely somewhere in northern UT. A number of conditions, the perfect storm, if you will, for fish tailing developed just north of the Utah border. The trailer is no more. The Hell van survived with a few dents but no structural damage. 99.9% of our personal belongings in the trailer also survived. Pics will be forth coming. If this had to happen, I'm sure glad it did it after IDSF and not on the way there. Now we have an excuse to shop for a toy hauler.
From: PrairieRider on 10 Aug 2010 16:05 Oh yes, and all four bikes also survived...this includes the one on the trailer. Let's just say Jeff has a knack for securing things and I hope I never pull a stoppie like the DR did! :-O

For whatever reason, the IDSF seems to claim a fair number of trailers every year. Good luck on the replacement. I really like our TH, but we're probably unusual in the way we use it. I've never had the bikes in it (use the truck bed) and we went for smaller (18') rather than bigger. -- Charles '99 YZ250 "It's bad luck just SEEin' a thing like that..."

I am so very sorry to hear about your trailer. It was in such a nice condition and'all... Very glad to hear none of you were hurt...a most important thing. I'd like to say thank you guys for everything and the great dual sport ride to the Trinities. I will get some of the few pictures I took posted soon. Take care, Jeff ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PrairieRider wrote: > and so did Jeff, Clover, and I.
