Well, the HD and/or it's rider, couldn't cut it yesterday. When the going got cold, wet and rainy, the HD dropped further and further behind even though Shala kept purposefully slowing down in an effort to allow her to keep up. When Shala finally exited the hwy at the first Spokane exit, the HD was no where to be found. Via phone, Shala was able to determine that it and it's rider was safely tucked into a motel some 80 miles back in Idaho with a pizza on hand. All Shala's extra (dry) clothing & overnight bag firmly packed in the HD. Needless to say, Shala is PISSED at her travelling companion on this trip!
Would anybody in their right mind drop back of your travelling companion, and without so much as a high sign, or flashing headlight, decide on your own to pull up for the night and get a motel and allow the other person to continue 80 miles ahead to the pre-determined rest stop? I bet this is the last time Shala will allow a HD to drag along behind on one of her IB excursions. What a PITA.
