Thank you!

Again - excellent RR Sam. Thanks for letting us in.

How come my photo's of the same sights don't look nearly as good as yours ? LOL

I enjoyed reading your blog, Just rode a lot of that during SWFOG, but like others said, my pictures don't turn out like yours!

I hope you guys don't kill each other!

Times three!

That is beautiful country and riding (less the jams in Zion and Bryce) - Highway 12 is a masterpiece!

Brodie and I took the exact same route through Utah back in '12, though we took the ET Highway across Nevada and luckily dodged some flash flooding.

Hope parts 2 and beyond work out well for the protagonists....
