Western Trip - 2018

[Utah Geezer]

Southern Utah

If you get to the Southern Utah area give me a shout out. Be glad to show you around. You really should do Bryce Canyon National Park and Zion National Park. Both are spectacular. Be sure to take Hwy 89 between the two of them as it is a very scenic drive. Valley of Fire down by Vegas is a must see as well. If you get over to South East Utah be sure to do Moab and see Arches National Park, Dead Horse Point and Needles. You won't be disappointed at any of the above.

Ride safe and hope to see ya in St. George.

Trip is going great. Just left St. George, Utah. I was lucky enough to hook up with a fellow Spyder Owner (Dennis Bailey) on Saturday. He toured me thru Cedar Springs State Park, Bryson Canyon National Park and Zion National Park. Dennis and his wife (Terri) had me over for dinner on Sunday. Great people, great time. I also got to visit the Grand Canyon and Valley of Fire, which I found to be the most inhospitable environment. Headed east now and will be home in 10 days.

Inhospitable? Was it hot?

Inhospitable? Was it hot?

About 101 at 9:00 am. Don't see how anything can live out there.

Beautiful place but it does get blazing hot this time of year.

Loved the scenery.

Been looking at weather forecasts for that area and saw that it getting quite toasty there but I was told it was a dry heat.:roflblack:

Like comes out of an oven.

Thanks for letting me join you

Sure glad I have my backup Kawasaki Nomad always ready. Couldn't believe my Spyder battery went bad the night before you got here with no place to get another one before 7 a.m when we left. Cedar Breaks National Monument, Bryce Canyon NP and Zions NP are hard to beat. 300 miles on two wheels is a little tougher than the 3 wheels I've grown use to, but it was still worth every mile and minute. Always happy to show people around my neck of the National Parks and then a little hospitality with a home cooked meal. Hard to beat dutch oven potatoes and a crock pot roast. Glad you had a good time here in Utah. Terri and I will be calling on you in North Carolina and George in two years when I retire. Thanks for letting us be a part of our adventures.

Created great memories. See you in a couple. I'm in Texas with my brother and his family. Leaving Tuesday for home. Thanks for everything.
