The Flying Mattress

[Tuckervill]

That reminds me of the time my friend had a near miss with a boat on a trailer that had come loose from a truck. The truck was going the OTHER way on the interstate, and the boat came over the wall separating the lanes, over my friend's head! No one was hurt, though, thank goodness.

Glad you managed to avoid the mattress! Good story to tell.

Holy Moly!!! She would have been killed. How is it that the boat was flying that high? Wow

Ohhhh....soooo glad you're OK! Sounds like a terrifying incident on a flat road, super-duper horrifying on a downhill mtn. ride. Yikes! You handled it very well- great biking skills!

Tucson is beautiful. I've think I've finally talked DH into retiring there (oh, in about 25 years). I went to the U of A and loved being in Tucson (much nicer than Yuma where I grew up). Glad you got to enjoy the town and see some of it's great spots. You gotta go back soon!

The wall was very close to the travel lane, and I guess it just bounced up enough when it disconnected from the truck, and went airborne and landed on the wall. But it still had enough speed to move forward. Scary.
