The Death of the Red Truck

On Wednesday night, in a driving rain, Bill returning to Base Camp in the Ford F350 hit some mud and went off the Moab side of Hurrah Pass. Bill survived and crawled out of the upside down truck through it's collapsed front window up to the road. Bill trudged the five miles to the lodge where he was able to Yahoo us what had happened. It took 4.5 hours for the Sheriff to reach him after I called to make sure he was ok. The truck is gone and Bill came close.

He got lucky where he went off, first hard turn going up the east side, but landed straight up side down. Hard to believe he made it through that.
