Important News

Yesterday in Winthrop Washington we found out that Shannon's dad (Jim Carlin) he is shown in the second video saying he supports Riding For Smiles was admitted to the hospital and was not supposed to live the night. Shannon is now on a plane for home and will arrive at 11:00 PM hopefully to see her father while he is still alive. I apologize for the delay in the last (2) videos as we did not have internet or phone service. I am now uploading two videos while I await word as to what will now happen. I will stay in Seattle for at least the next one to two days as we have many commitments here. Jim called us before he was put into an induced coma and said that he loved us and that his only wish was that we not stop, but continue this journey. He did not want us to know the difficulty he was in. Apparently this was going on for the last week. This trip now is up in the air with these circumstances but we will finish this journey. It just might have to be rescheduled by a few weeks. I will keep all of you informed as to what is going on over the next couple of days. Please pray for Shannon and her entire family. I have known Jim my entire life and could not have known a finer man and father-in-law.

Salmon River White Water Rafting



Our guide (Skinny) took us on an amazing ride
down the Salmon River in Riggins Idaho. It was
a real adventure, as if a motorcycle ride
to the Pacific Ocean doesn't count as one. We had
a lovely day off. I really needed it to get recharged
for the next leg of our journey into Hell's Canyon
(100 degrees) hair pin turns in order to get to
Joseph OR.

Grand Tetons / Jackson Hole Ride



Incredible, the Grand Tetons are just the most
beautiful site that you can imagine. The riding
was legendary and so fulfilling that you almost
did not want to ride the next day, just to savor
the moment.

Some of my riding buddies showed up in Idaho
and just when I thought the riding could not get
any better it did.

Enjoy
