Day 5
This is one of the best days of riding we have ever had. The road was in very good condition with the exception of a small section of tar snakes in Utah, very lightly traveled, and had many sections on constant sweeping turns. While we already rode the section from Torrey to Hanksville twice already, the new roads were well worth the small and beautiful repeated section. We're able to ride Glen Canyon, Natural Bridges, Monument Valley and Navajo Monument today.

| The direction I am looking is the where we had to end up. 185 miles by water, nearly 300 by road... |

Shannon says that its funny how and when they
choose to use guardrails |
 |
| Don't worry, I won't jump without taking my coffee with me! But if I went, you'd never find me, I blend in! |
 |
| Wow! |
 |
This visitor center is way out there! But I got a NPD. You have
to ask in person what that is. |
