Day 05 – Part 1, Rocky Mountain NP
After a brief stop for a treat, we headed into the park. 11,919 feet
Day 04 – Part 2, Dinosaur Museum on Fruita, CO
Since it is only 200 miles today, we get to be tourist. This is a Pultorak recomendation. Excellent !
Day 04 – Part 1, Entering Colorado
Left the Best Western in Green River UT , about 10:00 am. Short day today to end in Eagle, Co. Today is a candy ass ride day 🙂
Day 03 – Shai’s Report
Hay! My first Blog post on the Website. It’s Day 3 and I’m having a Blast! Today we went deeper into Utah and I took a bunch of pictures on the back of the Motorcycle going through the Canyons. When we got to the Hotel, Best Western. We went Swimming, Ate Dinner and now were where we are now. Me on my Computer and Watching TV, and Whatever Jimmy, I don’t Know What That is. I Can’t Wait to get to Sturgis and back! I will feel like I Accomplished Something, on a Motorcycle!
Shai’s perspective…

Day 03 – Part 3, Capital Reef NP
We haven’t entered the park yet but stopped in Torrey first for some java and a rootbeer float
Day 03 – Part 2, 9,600 feet
Traveling along route 12 in UT heading towards Torrey, ut. Great views along this route. Got Shai taking some pics, so we will post tonight
Day 03 – Part 1, Beautiful Morning
Here we are just after breakfast in Tropic UT. Woke up to a cool and crisp morning, so we broke out the jackets. We may not have cell service in this part, but will try for more on the road updates Im a bit tired. For sine reason, the room next
To us had their aarm go off and nobody was home. It just beeped and I couldn’t fall back alseep. Beep,Beep,Beep,Beep,Beep,Beep
Day 02 – Summary
I got up at 6:30 after going to bed at 2:00 am at the Luxor in Las Vegas. I finally got out of the hotel , hauled all the gear to the bike, packed it up, and started the SPOT. By then I was soaking wet with sweat and it was about 8:15. I found the timeshare that Shai was staying at and had to unpack and pack up his stuff with mine – about another hour and we were finally going north again on I-15.
We will try to keep up with the Road Blogs when we stop and have the appropriate cell service – I can post from the iPhone to the blog, even with the small thumbnail pictures.
As what has been the same every year for the last 20, I-15 in Vegas has some kind of construction. I Stopped in Glendale, which is about 60 miles north of Vegas right of I-15, and again in Mesquite to gas up, hydrate up, and for me, ditch the helmet!
From Mesquite on the ride gets more interesting. There is that desert canyon that you wind up to Saint George, UT and your know you will be getting off the freeway soon. A quick stop for lunch at the Crackle Barrel, then it was east on 9 towards Zion NP.
We stopped at a great little market just before Zion when you can get fresh fruit, ice cream, and other assorted organic items you normally don’t find out here. Great shade and a place to cool down.
The ride up till now was mostly high 90’s and the skies into Zion looked dark. We entered the park and the clouds were mostly over the mountain tops. We climbed towards the infamous tunnel where the weather was much more enjoyable as you make your way up to about 6,000 feet before we descended down to Mount Carmel where we spent the night at the Thunderbird Lodge.
 Unfortunately, we don’t have too many pictures – dead batteries! Weak!
