Today is another travel day, riding 330 twisty, curvy miles. Again, we leisurely got up enjoyed our coffee as we sat outside and watched it lightly rain. We blasted out @ 10am, with 100 miles of ug! We road through the Henry Mountains, passing through
Hanksville & Henryville. Also, enjoyed the the scenic 12 Hells backbone, capital reef NP, Grand staircase-Escalante,& Dixie National forest, while at the same time riding in and out of thundershowers. Once we got into Zion we encounter desert big horn sheep and goats. We entered the east entrance and followed the wonderful twisty 20 mph road into the Zion. We had to wait at the 2nd tunnel while a motorhome was being escorted through the 1.1 mile long tunnel. (Motorhomes have to arrange an escort at the park entrance & pay $15, this fee is good for 2 trips through the tunnel for the same vehicle during a 7-day period.) We were exhausted, getting in just before dark, had an excellent dinner and in bed early.

Thanks for all this wonderful sharing of your adventure. Wishing sister Lynde were not off on her own but her choice doesn't surprise me. Safe travels to you all on your remaining routes.
