Pedro Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I love those roads amongst the rocks and the drops. What a great place to visit on a bike, thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like it fell from above or rolled a few times - not sure which. Side by side was fucked up! Rule number one when in a car with a cage is to wear a helmet, rule number two is that either both people wear helmets or nobody wears them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 On Friday morning , I left the hotel in the dark as it was gonna be a long day. Caught the sun rising while at a truck stop getting fuel in Utah.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 The cool part about Utah is that there is absolutely no one out here - barren landscape with lots of nothing for miles and miles. Lots of wild fire smoke though... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 ..and then we drop into the canyons of my all time favorite road in the USA. No one really uses this road as it doesn't go anywhere - I think it's cool enough top be come a National Park. If people knew it was here , they'd flock to it... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 50 miles long, great scenery (when the smoke isn't in the air) and a road as smooth as can be... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 Welcome to Planet Mars. They could have made the road pretty straight, but looks as if they went outta their way to make it curvy. So thanks for that... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 You can't imagine the fun I had on this road; cool air, alone and zooming along taking pics. Was so glad I wasn't there when that small rock decided to fall and cross the road... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 Checked out some petroglyphs - made somewhere between 6,000-1,000 B.C. (quite a range) by the ancient Indians of the area. Amazing that they still survive.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 That's it. I got back on the freeway and blasted the last 300+ miles for home. Made just before dark and in time for dinner. Doesn't get much better than that. Until next time... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
