Today is July 10th and Hailey and I have started our trek back home.

My Buddy Rocky suggested (Told Me) that I ride Hwy 141 to Gateway from south to north.

The first few miles after getting on 141 the scenery was meh at best.

Then it got good, real good!

And every few miles it would totally change.

As we started out on the road a sign greeted us saying road work the next 61 miles.

However, it was all done except they still needed to do the little bridges that crossed the little creeks flowing into the main river. The rest of the road looked just like this!!!

No more comments on the scenery unless warranted.


It will all make sense if you read the signs in the next few pics.








Just playing with the ants.







That would have been fun to see that drop free!







At the Gateway Canyon Resort is this car museum.

Fifty some primo cars

The resort is for sale for a reasonable $279,000,000

It includes the car collection. Enjoy the next few pics.
































This is a 65 Chevelle. I had a 64 that was almost identical except it had the chrome strip around the fenders and doors and mine was a maroon color! Loved that car!













Tomorrow we will be looking for dinosaurs.

 

Before tomorrow came we took a did in the pool.

I got in too, but they chased me out with their splashing to drown me.

I think he was an Hawaiian variety

Just a few miles out of Jenson, UT

Not sure why she had to mask up, he didn't

So is it the knee bone connected to the leg bone?


The trolley to the digs

Practicing her social distancing

Practicing holding my gut in




Inside the excavation site












Pretty sure this guy is plastic




Okay, I touched it now where's the hand sanitizer?

The Green River

She says they are the biting kind



Out shuttle driver tried to tell us this was a Sagittarius or something like that


The guy digging the bones back in 1909

Okay Susan, now you have a reason to visit Vernal, UT

A few shots heading down to the Flaming Gorge








Lots of smoke today but I haven't heard where it is coming from



These guys are from Kentucky. We keep bumping in to them.

Now this is my lucky day!





Our last scenic stop for the trip!

Not much water flowing today. These are usually covered by water.


Hailey thought I should climb out on that rock

I just replied that's what I got her for!

Some of you have asked what I've been up to lately so I better update a bit. This morning Jeannie and I picked a couple pounds of blackberries until it started getting too warm. The ripe ones are delicious, the red ones will make you pucker! This is my grandson Steffen we spent 15 days putting in a new irrigation system on his 1.6 acres of land. I took these two pictures to show him what it will look like eventually. They are of my 1/2 acre yard that started out the same way 25 years ago.   On our way back to Portland, Jeannie and I stopped to visit Patience, her daughter Shannon, and father Ken. She loves adventure, hope I'm around someday to at least take her on a little one! Just a small part of Steffen's irrigation system. We also took the time to learn how to patch drywall after he had a plumber re-pipe his house.   Having lived in and around as well as traveling through the Portland, OR area, I have never visited Sauvie Island. I fixed that today. The Columbia is a mi

I started out on my trip this morning at 0 dark thirty in order to beat the oppressive heat that we have been having. It worked even though it was 94 degrees, not having the sun beating down on me made it possible to ride in comfort. I usually stop for gas here just before hooking up with Sherm. Today it's my first stop for fuel and the first time I have filled this bike since removing the fill tube in the neck of the tank. I see that I can put in about 1 quart more than I ever was before. I have to be sure not to do that anymore as it not good for the overflow cannister or something like that. It's 7:00 AM and I've been on the road over 3 hours. I stopped for a couple of chicken tacos so I could take some much needed aspirin. While waiting for my food I had a nice visit from a officer from homeland security. While he never mentioned his political leanings I could sure tell that he wasn't happy with the way our country is going. No, I didn't take his picture. As I w

Usually when we make our usual Presidents Day ride to Death Valley, our rides in the Valley are so spirited that we really never get to see too much of the scenery. However, this year there was an absence of testosterone supplements so  a vote was taken and I was asked to lead the first days ride. Actually, no vote was taken and after some begging and yelling me me me me, pick me, they let me lead. My good friend Sherm had gifted me a signed copy of Roger Naylor's Death Valley that showed so much of what the park had to offer. I told the guys about the coke ovens and off we went. The first 52 miles of riding was a great little road with pretty smooth pavement, but two miles short of the ovens and it all turned to loose gravel. Four of the group turned around and said they would wait for us at Stovepipe Wells. Dale and I continued on and arrived at the ovens very dusty, but otherwise no problems. Dale rides a BMW R1200GS dual sport made just for this sort of riding. I on the other h
