It is this whole flippin Pacific Inland Northwest that is nuts.

The area, not just us, has had it's share of multiple injuries and deaths involving the water. Mostly involving motor vehicles.

Last year we had two that went off the road and several hundred feet down the embankment only to have a tree stop them from going into a lake.

A couple of years ago we recovered one from 100' that went over a 150' cliff. The lake froze overnight so we didn't find him for a week. His brother found some of the debris from his truck and called us.

We have dozens of accidents like that in the area.

In Spokane last night a Dodge SUV with 5 onboard went off the road and down the embankment around 60' where it hit a tree. It has been reported that had that vehicle missed that tree it was 300' down to the river where it is almost certian all would have died. And the female driver was booked for DUI.

See, it's not just us!!! It's the whole flippin area. And YES, it is the water.
