Trip to Utah

[53driver]

The fun ride is between Salina and Green River where you see this sign below. First time I did it about 20 miles in I glanced down at my phone and saw "No Service", nice pucker factor

That's when you pat your right (or left) hip, find your traveling "buddy," and say, "No service like self service."

Cheers,
Steve

Amen to that Steve, this part of Utah reminded me of all of Wyoming, beautifully barren.

I need to fabricate a stealth scabbard for Isleen for a "reduced length automatic 12 gauge."

What a great trip and trip report. Thanks for sharing.

1. Some KOA's can be very underrated. SLC KOA is a great place for example, and there are many more good operators. OTH Cannonville, not so much!

2. Great little cameras for the cubby are the Canon Elf or the Leica Dlux 5. Not sure if they make either of those anymore though.

Thanks again for the great report. Utah is a beautiful state.

Great trip report. I ride southern Utah and southern Colorado every year, most years more than once and they are great riding. Ut-46 and Co-94 are great roads with almost no traffic, I am glad you found them. Nice pictures as well.

Great write-up!!
I just got back from Cali thru Utah...
What I learned:
Get a waffle weave thermal long sleeve shirt. ( Driving thru Las Vegas at 105 Degrees...Soak top with water...Brrrr) 'Nuff Said!!

EXPERIENCE I-70 on a bike....RECORD it in a car!

Hopefully doing MO AB in October

What a great adventure ! Heading out on the 27th for Maggie Valley, should be a good 3,000+ getaway .

Thanks for a review of your trip. I Really enjoyed the Grand Canyon, North Rim. Did you go the Bryce? It is right between the Grand Canyon and Zion.

At Bryce you are looking down at Wonderland, at Zion you are looking up and at the Grand Canyon you are looking across...so you never get a stiff neck! If you do get to Zion, there is a side road running along the outer boundary of the park that is worth the ride. You are "King of the Road"
since I think I saw two cars on it going and coming, great views everything from 180 degree, off-camber, turns to wide open straights and everything in between.

In Zion, you only have bus drop-offs but the ride into the park is outstanding.

I motelled it all the way so I wouldn't have to unpack every night but ended up doing it anyway. After 700 mile rides in 110 degree heat, air conditioning was priceless. If you do take that Northern route through KS, CO, UT, and NV, I have the names of some good local motels where you can park right outside your room. Most were like $60 a night.

I am planning to come back through Yellowstone, the Tetons and the Badlands but got to get through the California inferno first.

I too have traveled by mysel for thousands of miles and have found it
wonderful the people and sites along there way.
Has always been funny the things you think about and the conclusions you come to
I would definitely recommend to all take a long long trip by your self
and enjoy the things you see and most of all the things you learn about yourself.
