This is the day that we came here for. So far the weather is looking much better! These folks were out enjoying the river view this morning. |
I've been calling it the San Juan Motel when in fact it is and Inn |
The towns namesake comes from this natural rock formation. |
Walking up the hill to get a better shot of the feature it appears that little kids have been making their own Mexican Hats. |
You would think the wind would lift that sombrero right off of that tiny support under it. |
One white hat and several brown ones |
I made Sherm humor me and visit this state park. |
When we arrived at the parking area, there were several of these low cost adventure campers there. |
This one was equipped with the two Bichon option which really drives the price up. |
They were heading home from the Expo |
The San Juan River makes three complete horseshoe bends here. |
I guess that's why they call it Gooseneck Park |
Sherm enjoying the view. After we left, Sherm mentioned that he was really glad we stopped. |
I took the time to take a distinguished selfie. |
And a crazy one since I heard a couple of people talking about the crazy guy that climbed over the ledge. |
I told Sherm to walk out close to the edge for a cool shot. The dude is blind in one eye and thought he was still ten feet from the ledge. |
I love the vermillion cliffs in Utah and AZ |
We are going to ride that road right up the face of that one. |
Eventually, it turns to dirt and is considered to be the most dangerous road in America |
It does warn you if you want to turn around. |
There are no guard rails, soft shoulders, and thousand foot drop offs. |
Being blind in one eye, he was keeping it in the middle. |
Being as his right eye is the blind one, he never saw me! |
Sure glad he made it around my bike, next time I'll park on the left side. |
While I may embellish my captions a little tiny bit, I really just want you to enjoy the pictures. |
They paved a few of the corners for safety reasons. |
There was a group of Harley riders and I got quite a few nice shots of them. We caught back up to them and I got an email address from them so I can send them the pictures. |
Last one in the group |
There were even a few wild flowers blooming up there |
Incredible views |
We stopped near the top to enjoy the view a bit. |
Very close to the top now |
The Bears Ears National Monument |
From a distance |
I liked this snag |
We decided to visit here as it was new to both of us. |
Well, I thought it was. When I took this picture I realized I had been here before. |
It is hard to find the natural bridges until you zoom in. |
They have trails down to each of these bridges. I think I could make it down there. |
These folks are about halfway |
You would have to negotiate the wooden ladder left over from the Anasazi |
This guy has made it past the modern stairway, but still has to go down the 2000 year old stuff. |
Sherm doesn't always join me when I go on these little excursions, but stays behind to work on his phone. |
The second natural bridge of three |
They all have Indian names that I have already forgotten |
A group of bikers from Germany took my picture overlooking the third and final bridge. |
We are beginning the final section of our record breaking attempt on the Moki Dugway |
Yes! We did it! |
So far no real rain today....... |
.......but, that might change. Ugh! |
Absolutely FANTASTIC - Excellent photos, great photographer. Thank you.
