MOAB TO DURANGO
 

WE DO  A BIT OF THE TOURIST THING AND HEAD OVER TO DEAD HORSE POINT! WOW!  THIS MADE IT WORTH THE TRIP THRU THAT  LOVELY WASTELAND YESTERDAY!!  THEN ITS BACK UP THE FREEWAY TO GRAND JUNCTION SO WE CAN HEAD SOUTH ON THE UNAWEEP HIGHWAY!
 

HEY..CHECK OUT THE CUSTOM PAINT JOB IN THE PARKING LOT! WOW! MY DAY IS MADE ALREADY!!
 
 

HMMMM..SEEMS I GET LOW ON FUEL AND HAVE TO DO SOME ECONOMIZING..SO I DROP DOWN ON THE TANK, SLOW TO 120KPH AND THE BIKE MAKES IT INTO GRAND JUNCTION...MUSTA WORKED!  I PUT 5.2 GALLONS INTO A 5 GALLON TANK!!  WORKED OUT TO 65 MPG CND!  BIKE HAS BEEN GREAT ON FUEL THO..REGULARILY HITTING 60 AT GOOD SPEEDS, ABOUT 8 MPG BETTER THAN MY 05 EVER GOT  LAST YR!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

HEADING TO
DEAD HORSE POINT, CANYONLANDS PARK! WE SKIPPED THE ARCHES PARK AS TIME TO GET RIDING!!

LONG WAY DOWN!  I CAN SEE JOHN WAYNE AND THE GANG!!

THIS IS GREAT!!!

ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THIS!! SHOULD HAVE GOT CLOSER, BUT AT THE TIME IT REALLY DID SEEM CLOSE ENOUGH! ONLY 1/2 MILEDOWN Y'KNOW!!
 

COOL PIC!! CLOSE AS I COULD GET AND STILL GET BACK!

I CAN SEE NOTHING TO EAT!!!

UH-OH..GUESS WE BETTER GO THEN.......

THIS IS A KNOB!!
WE WERE TO MEET MANY MORE IN YELLOWSTONE MONTANA AREA, DRIVING BIKES WITH HUGE METAL DRINK  COOLERS HANGING OFF THEM!!
 

THAT IS USUALLY WHAT I USE THE MIRRORS FOR!!!
COOL TIMING AT 70 MPH EH??
 
 

TIME TO MOVE ON....OFF TO GRAND JUNCTION AND SOUTH FOR 100 MILES ON THE UNAWEEP SCENIC HIWAY.   # 141  ..A VERY NICE CANYON RUN..A GREAT  WAY TO DO THE RED CANYON  UTAH STUFF WITHOUT GETTING TOO FAR OUTA THE GOOD HIGH COOL  STUFF IN COLORADO!  ALTHOUGH I WOULD  RECOMMEND TO TAKE SOMEONE THE REST OF THE WAY TO SEE THE  DEAD HORSE POINT AREA!  ONLY ANOTHER HOUR WEST OF GRAND JUNCTION!
BUT I AM IN NO HURRY TO EVER GO ACROSS UTAH AGAIN.
IT WAS GREAT, BUT THIS PART IS  ENOUGH FOR ME!!
TIME TO GET BACK  INTO THE "UP" AGAIN!
 

HALF WAY!

THAT ROCK IS MOVING!!!
 

HMMMMM!!!
 

A HOUR OF THIS IS GOOD STUFF!!!
MORE!!
 

YES IT IS COLORADO!!
 
 

BUT TIME TO MOVE ON! WANT TO BE IN DURANGO TONIGHT!
 

YES!!  BACK TO GREEN STUFF !!!  HEADING UP TO TELLURIDE COLORADO!!

OK LOOKOUT!  SKIBUM RAYBOB IS CHECKING OUT  DOWNTOWN TELLURIDE!!
 

COOL TOWN..COULD HAVE A LOT OF FUN HERE..:)

VIEW FROM  BUTCH CASSIDY'S BAR! KEEPING A EYE ON THE BIKES WHILE ENJOYING A PITSTOP!!
 
 

A GREAT STOP, DON'T JUST DRIVE BY ON THE ROAD HAEDING SOUTH, BECAUSE IT BY ITSELF WAS A DISSAPOINTMENT!  NOTHING LIKE THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LOOP NORTH OF DURANGO.
I WOULDNT DO THIS ROUTE ALL THE WAY DOWN AGAIN, WOULD TURN BACK N AT TELLEURIDE AND  DOWN TO DURANGO OVER RED MTN PASS, THEN BACK UP NORTH THRU CREEDE.
 

WE GET A FREE GONDOLA RIDE! ALL BIKERS GET ONE!!  THINK THEY WANT US GONE!!

COOL RIDE. THE MAIN VILLAGE IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MTN, SO WE GO UP AND OVER THE TOP AND DOWN INTO A NICE SKI VILLAGE!

THE RUNS LOOK ROUGH..THEY NEED ME AND MY SNOCAT UP HERE!! :)

HEADING DOWN TO THE VILLAGE
 

COOL LIFT STATIONS!!!

OK..WE FINISH THE RIDE INTO DURANGO! THEN ITS OFF TO ANOTHER  MICRO-BREWERY FOR SUPPER.

THE STEAMWORKS!!  GOOD CHOICE!
