    Accident at Trail Days

    I just saw this in another thread. A number of HF hangers and vendors are at the event. I hope they and the people injured are ok.
    You are all in our thoughts.

    looks like the guy who hit them had a medical problem right before he ran into them.

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.

    Holy Cow, I was just there yesterday! My buddy and I decided to head out early yesterday afternoon, otherwise we would have been at the parade. I know that Stormcrow & Jenny, Loki, and Running Feather were there at a minimum since we ran into them at the vendor booth area. We hiked a bit with Chuck from Chattanooga and I know he was probably still there. I had heard that Detail Man and his family, LD Cakes, Medicine Man and bunch of other folks were there as well. Here's hoping they are all safe!

    How horrible! Prayers sent up. Has anybody heard from the HF people? Seems like Dutch was going to be marching in the parade. I don't know who else.
    Keep movin', keep believing and enjoy the journey!

    Re: Accident at Trail Days

    My wife and I were there yesterday. Saw Dutch, Marty and the WL gang, and the jacks. Saw stormcrow riding a bike. We are still in the area, Abingdon, on our anniversary. Praying that all the HF family are safe and sound and that all injured will be OK.

    I've tried emailing Detail Man and Medicine Man off forum. If I get a response I will make note. Not sure if either are truly there or not.

    My prayers are with all!
