In Salt Lake City with sisters after a long beautiful and dramatic day of driving from Albuquerque via the Navajo Reservation on former route 666 now route 491 past Shiprock then west past Canyonlands, Arches, Goblin Gardens, Bryece, Zion, and Capital Reef Nation Parks, gorgous land forms and colors, each more striking than the last, Lots of climbing up through mountain passes and dramatic swooping dropsinto the canyons. Saw about a dozen bike riders on various bikes with or with self supported camping gear. Moab is definitley a place to go back to to visit and ride, it looks like the area has every sort of outdoor and biking on and off road adventure that any one could want. About 150 miles further on at Fort Cove we turned north into rain dropping veils of most over the mountains and canyons, into heavy rain with the sun sending slashes of golden sunset light through mists and veils of dark heavy rain to the west of us and black clouds with lightning to the north and right of us. By the time we drove into Salt Lake it was black as night and pouring down and loooking and feeling distinctly like tornado weather. The weather is looky wet and cool for the ride today and through the week and the ride. Fingers crossed that it improves. Great to be together having sister time.
