When I pulled into Bullhead City, AZ over last Spring Break and realized my trucks canopy had been blown off by an 80 mph windstorm, somewhere out in the massive desert I had just crossed, my first thought was to secure my gear. I just assumed my poor canopy was gone forever and now that I’m back home and ready to start another Summer adventure, I feel lost without it.
New canopies are not in my budget, and tonneau covers are problematic, so I have decided to buy four bolts. When school ends around here and my employer and I agree it’s time to start my summer off, I’m heading back to that desert to attempt to find it.
I don’t have high hopes for this adventure but I have four bolts just in case. What the hell, if I spot it I can drag it out of the desert, bolt it down, and see what happens next. If a rattlesnake bites me in the process, oh well, that’s the end of next…
