We're in Salt Lake City Utah


Hello everyone,  sorry for the lack of posts, but we haven't had wifi since the beginning of the trip.

Alright! Lets get on with it:

Thursday night
We left bens house around 8pm and got caught in some 91 traffic.  Soon we were on the 15 and eventually at Barstow.  I was super stoked, I had never really done this long of a ride before.   The rest of the ride to Vegas was good. There wasn't too much wind.  Traffic was ok. We pulled into Vegas around 1 am.  A little behind schedule,  so we decided to not go to any of the casinos and push forward to st George. 
The bikes in st George 

The awesome painting in the st George hotel. I think it may be a Picasso. 



Friday 
We left st George around 10 am after eating breakfast at Denny's.  while leaving Denny's a old gentleman asked us if "the bikes" were ours before we could say yes he says " I have a custom 1,340 Harley Davidson.  I bet I could smoke you guys off the line."  Without hesitation ben and I say "yes, you can."   Not sure what the guy was thinking, his engine is bigger than both of ours combined and we were loaded with campaign equipment.

Anyhow we pushed forward.

Welcome....to....Zion... (Insert Jurassic Park music)



We hiked the narrows. It's essentially a river hike.

Zion also has "weeping rocks" these rocks leak water from an underground source.  I thought it was really interesting.  I've never seen anything like it before. 



Saturday
We woke up early and packed up our tents and the rest of our gear. Leaving Zion was a treat. The exiting road had a ton of excellent views. 


We had to go through a 1 mile tunnel. 











That's all. I'll post again soon.
