Today was a nice 192 mill loop ride out on hwy 14 through Shell Canyon where we stopped to see the Shell water falls. Then on to Dayton, WY where I had a piece of cherry pie alamode and the other guys had ice cream. We turned around at Dayton and cane back on hwy 14a.
Jerry stopped at the grocery store to pick up fixings for beef stroganoff. We all brought back a large portion of our prime rib from last night that we’ll cut up and add to the stroganoff.
We road to Cody then up over Chief Joseph hwy and Beartooth Pass. Along the way one of the K1600 Forum members (RatTrap) saw us so we pulled over and had a nice chat. I had not met him before but he reached out to me last week when he figured out that the 2 of us might meet each other on Beartooth.
I have ridden Beartooth at least 5 times now and it’s the first time I didn’t see any snow along the road but it’s also the latest time of the year that I’ve been on it.
We had Prime Rib for supper at the hotel restaurant. Then hit a couple bars in town.
377 mile day. Good temperatures, blue skies. Drove by Flaming Gorge then stopped in Farson, WY for a Big Cone. Made it to Greybull, WY 3:45 and checked in to the Historic Hotel in downtown Greybull good job Frank. Now to find a restaurant within walking distance.
Pictures below are on the Escalante highway and Bryce Canyon always a treat to see and ride.
Jerry, Frank and I will be leaving home Wednesday the 4th of September for our annual "Guy Ride". We will take in Utah, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota and Colorado for a total of 11 days of fantastic rides and scenery. I will try and post daily but may be having too much fun and miss a day or so.
My participation in the this ride is over. Andy is taking them back up into Utah, with a stop at the Grand Canyon, for the next 4 days ending in Hurricane, NV. John Parry will meet them there and take them across Death Valley and on into California where the trip will end.
We decided to ride down to my place so that the 2 Aussies cold put the new tires on that they ordered at Steve’s house last week. Brendans had cords showing all the way around.
I showed them downtown Prescott and the Palace bar while we waited for their tires to be mounted at a loval tire shop. Then checked the 2 of them into a local motel. Andy is staying at our house for the night
I’m done for the trip and Andy is taking the boys back up to the Grand Canyon and Utah for 3 more days before connecting with John Parry for their tour of California before storing their bikes and flying back to Australia.
A perfect weather day. Clear skies and not too cold in the morning and in the 70s in the afternoon. Caught highway 141 NW out of Cortez and rode it to Gateway, stopping at the hanging flume roadside historic site and on into Grand Junction where we had lunch with Darby and Alice. Then West on I-70 dropping down on 128 towards Moab. We cut off early and rode the La Sal loop aroind Moab and then 191 south to Blanding, UT for 2 nights.
