TODAY, I GOT A CALL FROM BILL’S WIFE SARAH THAT BILL HAD FALLEN AND BROKEN FOUR RIBS.

HE WAS RIDING A SECTION OF THE INUVIK ROAD, WE HAD KNOWN TO BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND HAD FRESH GRAVEL. I SUSPECT THE SAME STORM THAT I ENCOUNTERED ON THE TOP OF THE WORLD HI-WAY HAD MOVED EAST TO THE INUVIK ROAD. HE WAS AIRLIFTED FROM FORT MCPHERSON BACK TO INUVIK.

I WISH HIM A SPEEDY RECOVERY. BROKEN RIB RECOVERY IS PAINFUL AND SLOW.

ANYONE WANTING TO WISH HIM WELL MAY DO SO AT BSALTLAND@ HOTMAIL.COM
