Thursday, September 10th

We got up early and ate breakfast, but there wasn't much left, a tour group had been there in almost cleaned it out. We walked over to Moab tours and we booked a two hour hummer ride. Our guides name was Marty. He took us up a place called Slick Rock, I don't know why it was called that as it wasn't Slick but it looks like it would be.  We couldn't believe a vehicle could go the place is it did, especially with me in it!!!  It was worth every penny, we saw terrain and rocks you would never see any other way. You have to experience it to appreciate it. After we were back we went to Moab Diner for breakfast. We then started for Canyonland National Park about halfway there a large fifth wheel trailer and pick up past ass and ran over a round about 2 inches by 2 foot long piece of pipe on the road. It slipped it into the motorcycle, it made a terrible noise but didn't notice anything immediately. As we turned off the highway

Don could hear the motor making A noise like a hole in the muffler. We stopped and checked and found that the damage was done in the front of the motor and Oil was dripping. We rode back to Moab and stopped at Moab  Tours and ask them where was a good place to take the bike. Don put a quart of oil in it there.  We rode to Moab Power Sports and they checked it out and found a hole in the crank case and a break running down the front of yet. The owner is Doricca, she took us up to Days Inn to get the trailer in her Razor.

We had left the trailer there to go sightseeing. She got us a room across the street at Desert Inn. They could not fix the bike because of the specialty tools required so Joy is leaving tonight and driving down to get us.  Doricca loaned us her suburban to drive, can you believe that someone that doesn't know us would loan is her car??  We are thankful that the damage was done to the motorcycle and not to us!!! It could have been a tragic accident. Thanks God for your protection and wonderful people.
