    Curious to know if anyone has heard how Lars is doing- he was not in Lytton hospital when we went through the next am (place was a ghost town- closed 10pm to 10am) so we presume he was sent to Kelowna as had been suggested.

    I hear that while he was in pain, he offered to sell "Old Swampy" for $60, but refused an offer at $50.... did his bike get back home ok?

    Lars is in Kamloops hospital still with a broken clavical and a broken pelvis. His bike is now at his place along with all his belongs except for the clothing and glasses Joker dropped off for him. His daughter is camping in the area and is visiting him daily. Lars and Michelle (Mrs. Lars) are now trying to figure out how to get him back home. Anyone have a helicopter or plane going his way????

    From personal experience unless it's displaced they justlet it heal, no walking for a while though.

    Lars got home tonight. His wife drove to Kamloops and took him home. 10 hours in a pickup. No body cast.
