Rock formations in Buckskin Gulch, Utah

First, an addition to last night's post. We had dinner at a restaurant recommended by our friends Jim and Kelley, Houston's Trail's End Cafe in Kanab Utah. Talk about some great food, topped off by homemade pie. Jerry and Joe each enjoyed a bottle of Polygamy Porter. (Take some home to your wives, the label says).

Today we took a bit of a break. We rode 39 miles from Kanab UT to milepost 26 on route 89. From there we waited for the support team to catch up (they had to do the grocery shopping!) and then went for a hike up a canyon Jerry had been to before called Buckskin Gulch. The rock formations were so beautiful, lots of colors and wildflowers everywhere. We were hoping to get to the slot canyon but it was just too far away. It was really amazing.

Tomorrow an 80 mile ride scheduled with climbing involved; plan for an early start. We're traveling through Indian Reservation lands with primitive camping at the end; then on to Monument Valley. Not sure when we'll have internet again. Our weather's been beautiful, only rained on a little one night, sunny days and not too hot so far.
