No, I was in Nevada and they're a little different over there. I had a shovel and a bucket and with a field of sand fifty foot away, I made enough trips necessary to gather enough sand to soak up the three quarts or so. The park folks were real good to me about it and said they could handle it from there. You're so right about it being a bummer though. I'm just glad there wasn't more damage. These scooters are a little big to drop three foot from the ground. Good news is it took it....

Me thinks this is where the handle "Valdez" comes from. :)

Even though I just hand tighten my filter when I put it on, it typically takes more grip than I can muster to take it off at the next change.

I found that putting a large stainless hose clamp around the end of the filter gives me a bit more bite on the grip.

Good idea!
