Day 18 - I Got To Drive!


We left out of Monument Valley with me behind the wheel.  Nikki crawled into her crate in the backseat area and promptly went to sleep.  Kevin sat in the passenger, I told him to just sit there and look pretty. 

We rode through some spectacular beauty!  And also drove through some very ugly scenery (I told Kevin the ugly part looked like piles and piles of salt the KY DOT had ready for snow).  The temperature rose to 99o and we were dreading camping in that heat; however, as we neared our destination (Fishlake Panto, UT) we rose in elevation and the temperature dropped down to 75!  We drove through groves of Aspens and saw the lake.  The camping here looks to be great so we booked 3 nights.  We found the spot for us, unloaded the bikes and set up camp.  Elevation here is 8,806 – perfect!

After the bikes were unloaded we had “neighbors” come over to talk to us – they were fellow riders.  They told us about some great loops to take.  I envisioned Nikki and I hanging around the camp/lake tomorrow and possibly blowing up one of the rafts we brought with us and taking a little paddle on the lake.  Or just laying around in the hammock photographing birds and the little ground squirrels.

Kevin did photography from the truck as we headed towards our new destination.
