Dark clouds are rolling in...we had to stop in Walmart to pick something up...bad decision...we got stuck in a torrential downpour.


We got stuck behind a Tyson chicken truck for several miles after a light rain...let's just say, it's not a place anyone ever wants to be!!

Beautiful New Mexico sunrise The area that has no Cow Crossing signs...has cow's crossing! Window Rock, NM His truck was loaded down.  Unsure if he lives in it or sells out of it??   We made it back here...and it was actually opened!! Stage Coach We were able to walk around the whole ranch   The trading post is still open for business and operational. Lots of old shotguns. Interesting that Hubbel Trading Post has Dr Pepper but the Dr Pepper soda shop in OK does not!  We had an orange cream soda They sell the "famous Arbuckles" coffee...but do not offer some that they brew daily and charge $1.     In the barn Beautiful New Mexico landscape We saw this for miles...the two lines went parallel for quite a while...we determine it had to be airforce or someone doing some sort of practice. We rode 66 for a while today.  We are in search of moisture wicking sh...

  This was Ryan's lucky day!  He stopped in to the 66 station for a cup of coffee...and scored a free coffee!  He's drank a lot less coffee than normal on this trip - a combination of the highway robbery for a cup of Joe and his being sick.  Typically these 8-10oz cups ran from $3.50-5. -Shannon Was I happy for that coffee! -Ryan We stopped for breakfast at a bakery in Grindavik and shared a chocolate covered cinnamon roll. Maybe they forget the year with how time moves? -Ryan The first hint of an accident we saw on the entire island.  -Ryan The lagoon is a very odd whitish-blue and almost iridescent with a strong sulfur smell.  This is a very expensive place and by far a tourist trap attached to a high-end hotel  I was happy to see it and move on with out leaving any money.  We did learn about a hot river that is free, and if we ever go back, we'll hike in there and do it freestyle! -Ryan The first ...

Day 7 - Flaming Gorge to Tetons

We left Nephi and thought Garmen was headed the same way I thought in my mind...well, we were wrong.  However, this little detour on Provo Canyon Road turned into quite a treat.  Lots of waterfalls, hills, mountains and twisties! Didn't stop here since it was only time for beakfast. Liked the name.   I just love all of the rolling colors. Throughout the area near the Flaming Gorge, there are these cool info signs with geological info and descriptions of their meanings or perhaps something that happened in this area in the Prehistoric Era.   One of the greatest byways in Utah!!  Rode it in the car last fall..had to loop back on the back...Glad we did - it was awesome!!!  (despite the rain and clouds) It was quite overcast and at times rainy while in the Gorge.  Sunlight definitely creates the difference in this magical area!   Our initial shot ...
