When we awoke this morning the temperatures outside 44°. When we finally got on the bikes the temperature had not changed much. After riding about 100 miles it was time to stop and take off a couple of layers of clothing. Not long after our stop a driver motioned to Ted that his bag was missing from the back of his motorcycle. For the next hour Ted and I searched for the bag. I spotted the straps laying on the highway so I stopped to do a more detailed search. After about five minutes a gentleman came along in his pick up truck asking us if there was something wrong. When we indicated that we had lost a bag he said he had it in his car. While Ted was extremely happy to have the bag returned, since almost everything he brought on the trip was in it, his computer was, for the most part, trashed.
Speaking of Ted, below you will see a photograph of him with his motorcycle. If you compare that photograph to the one of me next to my motorcycle you will see a study in contrasts. Ted and I are different in so many ways. Ted is dressed to impress, rides a very cool motorcycle, carries numerous coordinated outfits, and in general projects a very macho image as he rides down the road. I, on the other hand, ride a motorcycle that many consider down right ugly, dress for the conditions, and look like the motorcycle equivalent of the Beverly Hillbillies coming down the road.
The last picture you see is of a portion of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison.
Tonight we are in Grand Junction Colorado and anticipate riding into Utah tomorrow.
