Schtum and Earache ride West - 2011
His vacation home is nothing to sneeze at either...
Veddy nice grass runway in his front garden...
Da plane, da plane...
The Tres Amigos...
(I'm the cute, little guy in the middle
)
Things look different from up here...
Faces only a mother could love...
Circled the vacation house before landing. I hate him even more now...
Thought we'd see how the 99% lives in Gateway...
Stopped by the local diner for lunch...
Food was surprisingly good...
Green Chile Soup was excellent...
Then back to the pool for a swim and a nap...
Rode into the desert at night to get some night shots..
My brother in law, sis in law and wife met us at Gateway. The next day, Neil and Luke got up early and went for a climb...
I should have gone, but my shoe choices were sandals or Alpinestars SMX boots. Neither of which are suitable for walking very far. Gotta bring some hikers next year.
Later that day, Neil and I suit up and blast for Moab, Utah. It's only about 150 miles away and the desert ride getting there is fun So off we go.
Ran into a bit of rain on the way..
Never really got wet as the rain evaporated before hitting the ground...
We're now leaving Gateway and heading to Torrey, Utah. Nothing out here in the desert except us...
Stopped for a bite and the biggest freakin' milkshake I ever had. Pretty tasty, too...
180 miles since the last fuel station and 100 more miles to the next one. So we stop at the Hite boatdock for a fill up...
Continuing on to Torrey...
Took a break at an overlook and was welcomed by a ground squirrel. Little bugger was begging for food and Schtum gave him a bit of something orange from his tank bag....
Schtum talked to a couple of Germans that had rented HD's in Cali,,,
