Into The Unknown

[Mellow]

Yea, its pretty busy here in moab. I cant believe its a monday. Im debating a ride back to green river for a motel or a risk south for camping on 191. Looks like a fairly warm night

There's a KOA on the South side of town but might be full.

In one of his motorcycle travel books, Neil Peart said he considered the roads around Moab to be the best in North America.

Yes, I remember him saying that. I think he said CO141 from Naturita to Gateway was his favorite. After I read that, I made it a point to ride it in 2020, and then on up to 50 and across to Moab via UT128. Was a great day of riding... both 141 and 128 were amazing.

IIRC, I took this picture of my friend on UT128 -



It sure was a neat way to come into Moab for sure!

@Pop-Pop , don't forget to drink. Beer or Coffee doesn't count.

Because you are in a desertic climate, you slowly dehydrate yourself just by breathing.

As you have noticed, there is not much vegetation around you, right. A very dry place.

It is worst when it is cool, because you don't sweat, and you don't feel the need to drink.

But you really have to.

Looks as though your trip is peaking.

It has been a constant peak, even thru the bad!

Moab and the canyon lands! Beautiful! I kept thinking about spaghetti westerns and was hoping some cowboy would pop out with his horse and a six shooter.

But there is also the bad! The wind has been dangerous. Ive had my neck snapped, my helmet twisted, blown into the oncoming lane and a host of other occurances. So, i went back to my kids house. Im grateful for the things ive seen, but id b heartbroken if i scratched the bike up. I, for example, was fighting the wind and it suddenly stopped. I went right and found my wheels in deep gravel on the side of the road.
So, im back at the kids house, planning a change. This wind is nothing like the last three tours. My kids warned me, but i didnt get it. I am totally chapped.
Thanks paulcb! The tent stakes held!

My last day in Pagosa, and its a beautiful day! My daughter got smoked in the raft race, and the blue boat is the Womans U.S. paddling team. Quite a sight!

There are few sulphur springs because the water is still high.

Something just aint right about this kid!

I don't know, looks like she's normal to me. Course my sample size was small.

She is three. My son in law got hurt a lot dirt racing and my daughter thinks all bikes are the same.
