I'm not opposed to riding in heavy rains at all. But Moab has no soil, only rock. So all of the rain flows off of the hills and down into town. Not the best riding conditions. So we ended up sitting in a hotel room for the next day and a half as the area got more rain in 2 days than they did in the entire previous year. No Arches. No Canyonlands, No nuthin'.

We're now on Casper's favorite road in all of Utah. Curvy as Hell, no guard rails and lots of elevation, sheer drops, etc.

Only this time it's in the rain and fog. Mark wasn't diggin' it much either Ben, so don't feel bad...

Silverton is a bit more touristy than Ouray, but not a whole lot. Both towns could up their game a bit, pave more than one street and get some better hotels, but Silverton is at least brightly painted and tarted up a bit...
