Moab, UT

The temperature starting our ride this morning was 35 degrees. THIRTY FIVE DEGREES!! I know I am from Minnesota - but I don't go ride motorcycles when it's that cold. We all bundled up. Although we were all wearing multiple layers - we were still chilled.

Joe did our maps today - funny how mine was the only one that didn't work.

The ride was a nice ride regardless of the cold. We saw some great scenery. In the beginning I was surprised by how far each town is, and how there is literally nothing. I am used to seeing green and grass - not here. Southwest Colorado and Southeast Utah have no grass or trees.

We came up on a rough road. They had started construction on it. I have never in my life seen or felt such a terrible road. It was like they removed the pavement, there was gravel all over, and big potholes and small ones. It was a disaster- it probably lasted a mile. After we got done we stopped for gas and we all were checking over our bolts, nuts and frame. Even dirt biking I don't know that i've experienced that bad - although maybe it's the different bikes.

We stopped at Monument Valley. We stopped at the same spot that Forrest Gump had in the movie after he decided he was done running. It was the same road and spot that they filmed the movie.

At one point - Scott went into the gas station to use the bathroom. Apparently he looked down and his sunglasses fell into the toilet. I bursted out laughing as I had done something similar the day before. He did wash them and used them. You would too

I keep forgetting to thank some friends that have stopped by to see us on our journey.
