Earache Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 We stop for the night at the Best Western in Torrey and see about 40 HD's parked outside. Most are flying Danish flags on the back. Talked to a bunch of guys and couple fromm Denmark that were staying here tonight. They had rented HD's in LAs Vegas and were touring around the southwest.It was funny the next morning when they all left at the same time - quite a rumble. Guys even had a breakdown / luggage hauling U-Haul driven by one of their non-biking friends.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 We're gonna be heading back east now. Rode through Capitol Reef National Park, checked out the ancient wall art... Some say that the figures look like space men from another planet. I can kinda see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 After the Reef, we're into the red rock area and heading past Lake Powell again. Loads of curves and no traffic so we bust out the video cams... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Anasazi Indian kiva ruins - out in the middle of nowhere.... Sites like this are all over the desert.

Earache Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Had brekkie at one of my favorite places; The Moab Diner... Mark, while not trying to poke his eye out with a fork, had the tarditional eggs and bacon... While I went for the green chile breakfast burrito.... Might be paying for that decision later.
