Another day in Broken Arrow...

The plan had been for Vance to ride with the guys today, however, due to the late night bike maintenance everyone slept late. When we finally woke up we realized Michael’s back tire was almost totally bald - 15 days of agressive trail riding eats away at tires quickly. So, while Mathew, James and Steven worked on wiring up one of the bike’s with camera equipment, Michael, Chris and Vance headed into town to pick up newly printed movie posters, lunch and a new tire. When we returned we all realized that there was no way we could leave and make our next destination in time so we opted to stay at the Hunter’s house for one more night.

Because we had some down time, Vance happily gave us the Grand Tour of Broken Arrow and drove us by the high-school where the film documentary “The Pride of Broken Arrow” about their marching band was filmed. Vance’s older daughter is a member of the Broken Arrow marching band and he has season tickets to the Friday night games. Friday night high-school football is a very big deal there and the stadium was huge. All James could say was “I can’t believe how big that stadium is.” As our time with the Hunter family was drawing to a close, Lori, Vance’s wife, prepared a most delicious home cooked meal for us all. There were baked potatoes, an amazing sautéed veggie mix, marinated Portobello mushrooms, french bread, and salad. Of course, Vance was also impressive, cooking ten steaks in his homemade grill that he built from an old oil pipe. The dinner was superb and was a perfect end to our two day visit with a terrific family. We are all very grateful to Vance and his family for their selfless and immediate support during our most challenging issue to date.

As a small token of our sincere appreciation to Vance and his family we had a photo we took of Vance on one of his motorcycles and had it enlarged and printed locally. The two Beatty brothers then signed the photo with appreciation, and the entire cast signed one of our movie posters and also gave it as a token of our appreciation to Vance.
