Earache

Landforms looked close but were actually pretty far away....

Rode through this valley for about 75 miles. All alone and great scenery. Was fun to just sit at the se of the road and look...

Found some more glyphs - a shitload more....

Big Boy was in town on a tour so I swung by the railyard for a look. 773,000 lbs worth of steam engine. Big sumbitch! See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Pacific_Big_Boy Pic kinda sucks. It was still kinda dark and this was as close as I could get to it

Up before the Sun on Saturday and heading about 400 miles to the south to Moab area. Bike is really looking like shit...

Not it's not. But to be fair, they don't like anyone who isn't a Mormon -at least they are consistent.

In this case, you can blame the Mormons - not really fond of brown people here.

Waiting on the Sun to come up and then I'm off to Moab. More later ....

Dropped into a "Mexican" place for dinner. All white people working- not one Mexican. Not a good sign when you want Mexican food. Bartender needs to work on her pour, but the beers were cold and the burrito was kinda bland - as expected in a white Mexican place.....

More cool art deco aged buildings. A few are empty without much going on .....

The painted horse thing is kinda overdone here. No idea why they're here...

Better shot of the local Mormon Temple. These guys are weird as shit. Polite and well mannered, but weird....

Architecture is nicer on these older, (old by USA standards) buildings in town ...

The hotel was an old bank years ago and still has the marble walls, floors and art deco stainless steel elevators...

Walked around Ogden today - cool little town. Next door to the hotel is Perry's Egyptian Theater, Nice art deco looking front and even an old school ticket booth....

You'll look good on it - regardless of what the others say....

Berries " of color" is more appropriate.

Just looked at my previously clean and black boots - covered in this weird,. white clay material. Too dark last night to look at the bike, but it's gotta be covered in this crap. Pete would just die.....

Gonna have an entire bike in the "keep" pile soon.

Yes they have. I like how the guy who drew this drew himself (on the right side) with a big cock and drew his hunting buddy's with no cock at all. Good sense of humor!

I was gonna ride today - but it's already 85F / 30C at 7:45 AM so I might just bag it and go get some beers someplace in town. We'll find out, I guess. More later.......

Made it up to my room and have a view of the Mormon church in town. Maybe they're telling me soemthing...

Made it to my hotel in downtown Ogden at 7:30 PM after 750 miles on the day. Greeted with rock star parking...

Passed an old homestead out in the middle of nowhere just outside of the canyon. Tough living out here back in the day. But it's a stone house (Pete would have loved it) as there are no trees to get wood from . Truck looks to be from the 1940's era ...

If I'm gonna die out here, at least the scenery is nice....
