seem to be missing a memory card with the pics from speed week. i got to ride the trike on the salt as the sun went down. what a privilege.....

 

[oneup]

might have to skip that part of the trip till Elise gets back from England... hope she has that memory card

next stop was arches national park. some of the most spectacular and diverse rock formations

sometimes cameras just dont do as good a job as you want them to,

spent the night at Moab which is a cool place. and a pizza bar and bar next to a laundrymat was a bonus,
having 2 cameras die in a day we bought a cheap one, which is why the pics from arches arent as good as they should be.. i worried that the cheap camera might be poor, and we did buy a better one when we got the chance. cant recall where that was.

we werent allowed into monument valley because we were on a motorcycle. guess a lot has changed since easy rider was made. we still got to see the formations from a distance. i found the whole thing sad and depressing. grotty conditions. broken bottles everywhere. disorganised, extremely substandard conditions even in the new shopping area.

i was glad to get out of monument valley and to relax watching the sun set at cameron

the Grand canyon lived up to its name. beauty on a grand scale

this turret sits right on the edge and is a very clever piece of architecture built in a rustic style to maximise the views

this camera is realy disapointing.

i cant remember what this place was called but it was a cool shop and petrol station. added to the growing excess of luggage we were hauling

after leaving willianms we triked on and off the freeway looking for more of route 66 that was less known, or rather not signposted..found this gem
