Cross Country Trip
Funemployed in 2011, I take two motorcycles on a cross-country trip from California to Asheville to St. Louis. These posts document each day's travels.
Today was the first leg into Utah, I quit early and made camp because I need to write a résumé for something that just popped up. Yes, in my tent. My life is weird.
The Kershaw-Ryan State Park was pretty nice. Good facilities and nestled in a little valley. This morning I was up at 6 with the sun.
Once in Utah, I managed to find some sweepers and decent roads by detouring down UT-18 and going through Zion National Park. It's a really pretty place, and the roads are all punch-you-in-the-face red.
The views are great too.
Once again I wished I had a GoPro or something set to time-lapse, there's a 1.1 mile unfinished tunnel that the road goes through, as well as a few other tunnels/arches that felt unique to the area. But no place to stop for photos.
Utah has its fair share of unique geological features, though. Here's a random tower of geology I found.
Some of the views would just make you say "damn" out loud in your helmet, even though there's no one in sight.
Not a lot of pictures today, I was a little bit out of sorts. And my ass hurts.
But it's not all bad. Here's the view from my tent tonight.
Until next time…
