It does seem a little long before they were found considering they wernt that far from Randsburg and not in a mine shaft. But why would you head out to Gov. Peak? Of all places to take off and ride to at night
Poor judgement on many levels but that is besides the point. We have all made poor judgements at times. This is just a reminder of the importance of taking proper safety measures before and when you ride. For me it is a strong reminder of how lucky I was on my last ride. I was alone. I loved it, but alone AND I broke down. I was damn lucky! I left a note on a windshield of my route, took my phone and when I broke down I called for help to my Son and his friends riding at a track near by. I was lucky I wasnt busted up or out of cell range. It was stupid of me. I allowed my desire to ride override my logic. I do enjoy riding alone at times. I like the peace and freedom however, Im going to try hard to resist doing it ever again. I've said this before, but I really hope to follow through this time.
Godspeed Dan and Chris. I will think of these young men every time I ride in that area or look at Gov. Peak.
