Hi Folks,
Sunday morning in Moab,UT. Got stuck in the Friday snow storm so spent extra day in Gunnison,CO. 10" of snow on my bike. Roads in Gunnison were dry Saturday so I left early. 24 degrees!! When I got to mountains west of Gunnison, it was blowing and snowing. Slowed way down and tried to avoid wet spots. Finally broke out in Montrose,CO.
Ran west on 50/I-70 to Utah6. Southwest on 6 and 128. 128 runs along the Colorado River through the canyons. No guard rails!! Road drops off to river on the right and a wall of rock on the left.
A sign says beware of falling rock. They should change rock to boulders!! See the pics!!
Four pics of sites in Castle Valley other two along 128 and river.
The pictures don't do justice to the views along 128. Around every curve or over every rise, there is more to gaze on. Some might say "more of the same". You have to see it!!!
Plan site seeing around Moab today and maybe tomorrow before heading west again. Temps mid 70s today.
Later,Dave

This is just wonderful. Makes me wish I could take my Bike on a cross country trip like that. Godspeed my friend.
Ahhhhhh, Utah! Definitely one of the most beautiful places on earth. I envy Dave; maybe one day I'll finally learn to drive that motorcycle in my garage and do what he's doing.
FABULOUS!
Did I miss any pics from West VA?
Such beautiful places along his ride. Dave, thanks for taking us with you.

I'm lovin it Dave, thanks for sharing.
Almost like Charles Carrault(sp?)(does anyone remember him?)
the beauty of this our coutry is a true reminder of why we work so hard to protect and defend what we believe in, and keep what we have been entrusted with.
Hi Folks,
Don't thank me, thank Joe for putting this trip on his blog.
I am glad that folks are enjoying this as much as I am.
AS I said earlier, seeing it with your own eyes, as 808PM said " the beauty of this our coutry is a true reminder of why we work so hard to protect and defend what we believe in, and keep what we have been entrusted with."

Thanks, Dave. I'm enjoying your trip, and wishing I was along for the ride. Stay defensive with your driving... it's early in the season, and people aren't used to seeing motorcycles yet.
8:08 its Kuralt. He has some fine books he published that I highly recommend. He paints the pictures in your mind that you have seen from Dave.
