Day12 Down the mountain
Day12 Down the Mountain
This entry may be a little short, since I just hit the delete button on the full entry and lost the whole darned thing………computers, they are as detestable as bike seats.
This was my first fully clouded over day I have had on this ride. I woke up rather late for my normal, but I guess that is because I was healing while laying in bed. My knees felt a little better and I was ready to ride.It was a rough road with a lot of pot holes to watch out for.
I stopped in Hatch, and had some eggs and toast along with some coffee. I met a couple from Germany that were riding there Harley’s across USA. They thought that USA was maybe a little better than Heaven……..I am not so sure.
Rode on again, after trying my Cingular cell phone again, only to find I wasn’t in service AGAIN. Rode on headed on to Bryce Canyon, I only rode maybe 7-8 miles up the canyon, man was it pretty. Got back to the main road headed north and rode to Panguitch where I stopped for some groceries and a lunch. That is when I met the two folks here on motor cycles. The couple is takeing a year out of ther live to ride from Anchorage to Tierra del Fuego at the tip of South America. Check it out at www.tobias-ingeborg.com. It was already a great trip that they had to this point. So we ate the lunch and shared stores of the road.
Headed up the road with a huge tail wind to blow me along. The Sevier River was running just off over my right shoulder, and that urge to swim just overtook me. It was my good luck that I rememberd to take my clothes off this time, so I bailed in and had a quick dip. Got out and headed on up the road, to Circleville. I stoped and had an Ice Cream and a break to talk to a few locals about the road to Otter Creek. Just fine they said, and only about 20 miles. So I decided to make a run for the park at Otter Creek, it was a beautiful ride in thru the canyon and then out beside the cool lake. I made it there in time to set up camp, and make supper so I could watch the sun go down.
Good Night and God Bless
