Trip to Oregon

SO WHAT'S WITH THE ARM SLING?
I have developed a variety of good explanations depending on the mood and the moment. The most common reply sounds something like: "if you were a Utah ATV safety instructor, would you really tell anyone what happened?" The reality is I did have an unplanned and unexpected experience on an ATV while riding at Sand Lake Beach near Tillamook Oregon. After some agressive and high speed riding on the sand, the adventure led to some thick trees and undergrowth just minutes after this photo. The mishap occurred at the end of a narrow dead end trail while turning around in a tight spot and after hitting a large tree root. Fortunately I was thrown clear of the upended 4 wheeler but the impact caused some injury to my left sholder. After X-Rays and an extended wait at Tuality ER , it was determined that nothing was broken but my pride was severely bruised. It continues to be painful but recovery is slowly coming.
