To the Campsite director near the alpine loop (provo/oerm side)
« on: June 05, 2009, 10:47:38 AM »
Lady, you rock.


You lent me the quart of oil, even though I looked haggard(I haven't shaved for about 2 months now), and was stupid enough to take a bike on a ride without enough oil.

I had been wanting to take the alpine loop that day, and had tensioned my chain and checked everything BUT my oil level before taking off.
I checked it at the turnoff after the ranger station(realizing I hadn't checked it earlier).
The dipstick didn't even register oil.




You lent me a quart of oil, and said to pass the karma along even though I promised to re-pay your kindness.






So anyone who passes through the alpine loop on the Sundance side, if you need help this lady is the nicest I have met in years up there.




Thank god some people still have a heart.
'Cause Lord knows the snoots up in sundance will not help.
I tried probably 20 people/stores and not only would no one sell their (if they had one) spare quart of oil, but nowhere up there sells quarts of oil.




Thnx again Lady!!!!

Reminds me of when I went to my nephew's wedding somewhere north of San Diego.  I knew I was low on gas, so before we left to go the the chapel, I asked him how far to the nearest gas station.  He didn't know, and said the chapel was only a few miles up the road.  The "few miles" turned out to be over 20, and I ran out of gas on the way there.  The wedding was about to start in 20 minutes! 
We ran out of gas near this school, where there was a grounds keeper out in the field mowing.  The grounds keeper, a very "butch" lady stopped what she was doing, and asked if we needed any help.  I explained the situation, and she went to the garage and brought us 5 gal. of gas.  She absoultely refused any money, and gave us directions to ge to the chapel quicker than the planned route we had.  Kudos to her!  I'll never forget that, and the fact the there still are some really nice, caring and helpful people left in this screwed up world.

I can't count or even remember all the people that have helped me on the way and I know there is no way to repay them except for helping others that I can.
