...Friday of the same weekend in late June that Lowery started feeling wobbly, a young motorcyclist who lives in a nearby town was passing through Alpine. Dropping in on some friends, he gulped two glasses of water drawn straight from an Alpine tap. Before too many more days had passed, he realized that he was falling seriously...
Just as the motorcyclist was riding out of Alpine, members of the Scott family were driving in from all over the northwest. The Scotts had been planning a reunion in Alpine for months, and on June 26, a Friday, 43 of them showed up. They spent the weekend picnicking, playing touch football and rafting on the Snake River.

While traveling in a taxi an oncoming motorcyclist crashed into the car while going "about ninety," as one member described it. The biker was apparently a little unsure as to the correct lane for driving in Jamaica (it's the left). No one was seriously injured, but the accident sent one of the side view mirrors flying into the backseat where the frightened Opportunes were sitting...
