Late start to the day, but that is becoming normal. I think the kids are wearing out. We rode pretty hard today and a long way to Craters of the Moon. Now I understand why not many people have been there; it is way, way out of the way and small relative to most of the other national parks. It is way cool, however, with some of the most bizarre scenery ever. Picture below.

I also learned that a cross wind at 80 MPH can be a little exciting on a fully loaded Harley. Did a final re-adjustment on the route as the Dinosaur National Monument dinosaur wall and excavation is closed. Tomorrow on to Green River and then to the Mountain House in Granby on Friday before a trip back to Lafayette on Monday and reality. Seems too short and yet, pretty long. So many places we have seen and yet so much we missed, visiting with family and friends, but the stays seems too short. Although, the Italians say that guest are like fish--after three days they start to stink! So we never stayed more than 2 days, just in case.

Great pix! Can't believe your adventure is already/finally coming to an end. What am I going to read in the morning? You'll have to start a new blog. Safe travels back to Happy Trails! Love, Lex
ReplyDeleteHey welcome back - or closer back to reality. sounds like the kids are a bit tired of the travel, but a great experience for them.
ReplyDeletei think there was some guy paining in your house as i drove by - hopefully that's good news.
i think we got all the bottles and stuff cleaned up from your living room ;)
Nowell, how is it possible that you could have a party without me? It wouldn't be the same. Of course, I don't really remember many of the parties I attended! First Friday is a week from today. Let's hope we can get a quorum.
