Riding to the West side

Can't tell in the pics, of course, but it was about 110F today...

Late in the day and we wheel into our deee-luxe digs in Torrey, Utah. Had to park on the sidewalk as it was the only concrete area and our stands would sink into the soft asphalt...

We waddle across the street to the only restaurant within 100 miles. Crap pizza, cold beers and a dining room with a great view...

Lots of smoke in the air from the wild fires, so visibility was limited. Stung our eyes a good bit, too...

To Hell with that - I'm gonna throw little kids at them as appetizers. I don't have to be the fastest to get away - just not the slowest...

Cops have the road closed due to fires. We could see the fire planes diving into the area...

At this point, we turn south and head to Arizona. It was our plan to get to Page, Arizona in time to tour Antelope Canyon. Of course, we got there too late and pretty much missed it.
I took exactly one picture in Page - my bike sitting outside the hotel room window. Thrilling, eh?

Then we had to get up early the next day and hump our way north to Colorado. Pretty much wasted a trip to Page.
 
We want to hit Monument Valley next and then get the Hell outta the desert and into the mountains for some cooler air...
