Sad News

[Tom (SuperCJ)]

Most of you have been to the Cougar Buttes/High Desert Round-Up areas. If so, you've likely visited the Slash X Ranch Cafe near Barstow. I was forwarded this today and it is sad news, indeed.
Anyone who has ever met Brian Lynn knows him as a great storyteller and a guy with a smile on his face. I've hoisted more than a few beers with him while cooling off from a day on Pumpkin Eater. And there's nothing better than one of Brian's Slash X breakfasts featuring tater-tots smothered in gravy.
I hope the Slash X survives this. It is an oasis and a true landmark in the Barstow area. My best wishes to all of Brian's family and friends.

Very sad and will be missed by many.

Wow. This is very sad. Brian was a great guy. He really loved the off road community and welcomed everyone.

A great loss for sure. I too hope the X lives on.

No seatbelts. How tragic. Maybe could have been prevented.
