Nothing Epic Other than troubleshooting electrical, overhauling forty-seven year old Jeep switches, and eating, we haven't done much-so we dug through the archives and found a few pictures we may or may not have posted before.

Lori went camping It was an "all girls" motorcycle campout so I didn't go. Read about it at Motor Dolls in the "News" section. Filthy Sportster with monsoon stains ready for campout. I met her the next morning Clean Fatboy on abandoned section of Route 66 south of Cajon Pass.   Volkswagens Greg's looking for an old VW to use for Orange Seed Co. so we crashed a VW show the day before it started after lunch at Pancho's . I was too full to take many pictures but I couldn't pass these two.  I think the license plate is the name of the builder...should probably Google it but I'll forget the name as soon as I close this page The back seat looked pretty comfortable.

Excuse last night 8/23/13 I'm having trouble with my Eye Fi card again, it may or may not transfer pictures to my phone. Update this morning 8/24/13 It's not transferring most  most of my pictures. They're on the card, it's just not transmitting a signal. Here's a couple shots at the San Juan Inn I would have posted the 23rd. Finished from home 8/25/13 The good news is you won't miss much from the glorious morning ride because it was too glorious to stop for pictures in the beginning and too wet to stop in the back half. After careful consideration and planning we picked perennial favorite Seligman. Since it's an easy ride over familiar roads we didn't get on the bikes 'til after 11:00am. It was already in the 90s but the air felt cool when we started across the bridge towards Monument Valley. (Sorry Brian Jr. She made me!) The wind was gusty and we could see squalls ahead. The road through Monument Valley is smooth with p...

Buying a paper map today! With 128 miles between Hanksville and Mexican Hat 3.3 gallons should be plenty. The problem was we weren't absolutely sure it was 128 miles. The computer maps were giving different estimates and route variations when we were planning the night before. Luckily even the highest estimate put us in range  as long as we didn't get lost or do any extra sightseeing and it wasn't all up hill. Turns out it was 128, mostly down hill, and we didn't get lost. We both had a gallon to spare! No signal here Edward Abbey Country I read a book called "The Monkey Wrench Gang" about 25 years ago. It's a cat and mouse story about a group who is trying to prevent the Glen Canyon Dam (Lake Powell) mostly with sabotage. It's a good read but had slipped my mind 'til our friend Gavin reminded me. Ed Abby was a passionate writer who knew and loved this area as much as anyone. After reading his book I figured I had an idea what it would look like. I...
