As some of you know already, John is recovering from surgery in a Boise hospital following a motorcycle crash on Saturday. The accident occurred near Glens Ferry as John was participating in a multi-day mostly back country motorcycle traverse of the state and resulted in a tib-fib fracture of his lower leg. John is very experienced with motorcycles and almost indestructible, but it is essentially the same story as a bad bicycle crash. Sometimes in spite of every precaution you take, it just happens. We all wish him a quick and complete recovery.
The story has an interesting twist. About a month ago, John, Jeff, and I rode a loop out through Osgood and back through Idaho Falls. That day, John was talking about the membership program offered by Idaho Life Flight Air Ambulance. You pay a membership fee and Life Flight will pick you up and transport you to a hospital for zero out-of-pocket expense. I told John that I had never been transported by Life Flight and was skeptical about buying a membership. John felt like it would be a good idea to sign up. He had no way of knowing that his first helicopter ride was just weeks away. His membership was probably the best return on investment any of us will ever make in our lifetimes.
