Kate,
Glad to hear you are OK...sort of. Yikes, what a choice...er...lack of
choice. I'm visualizing and not liking what I see. Hitting an elk at
60 would have done more than broken your neck, me-thinks.
So Bonnie received some well deserved therapy for a change and made a
new friend. Happy too that she's all right.
Let that neck heal for a while before you get too frisky. ;-) Back
to riding an oat-burner for awhile? Do we do O.S.H.I.T.'s for a Jeep?
The Comanche must be a classic by now.
Kate, there was an Arkley on eBay...your color too! ;-)
Good thoughts comin' your way,
Dave W.
