Day 13 Panaca NV to Carson City, NV–The final leg of a long AMA journey!
After Randal and Venice gave me a tasty sample of the beauty surrounding them, I decided I needed to get some photos and further explore the area. I got a late start, relaxing all morning, which was wonderful I finally got the bike packed and Randal topped my gas, another wonderful benefit of friendship and…

Day 12–Torrey, UT to Panaca, NV–High Desert
Day 12—Torrey to Panaca, NV I began fairly early, got the bike packed and was on the road by 8ish, which for me is an accomplishment! Climbing out of Torrey on the scenic Hwy 12, I found the road exhilarating and the bike responsive. I was in my element, sailing free, absorbing the musky aromas…

Day 11–Solace in Torrey
Day 11—Solace in Torrey I rose to an amazing morning but had heard my phone telling me I had email. I showered and began packing and then went and looked at emails. It was some strange news that had been forwarded so many times that I wasn’t sure what was going on but someone in…

Day 10–Cortez to Torrey
Day 10–Cortez to Torrey For some unknown reason I decided to go to Four Corners monument. I had absolutely no idea what was there, but when I arrived and found that the Navaho tribe charged 3 bucks to view the thing, I decided I really didn’t need to see it. It wasn’t that the price…

Day 9–Keystone to Cortez, UT

Redstone to Keystone could have been reached by any number of roadways, but I chose to take Independence Pass, a road that was highly praised by several riders. I chose Hwy 82 to Hwy 24 to Hwy 91 to Hwy 70 getting off on Hwy 6 to Keystone. So, once again I packed up my…

Day 3–Moab, UT to Redstone, CO
Since I have a moment…I thought I’d throw up a few more pix! Since I arrived in Keystone and the AMA Women and Motorcycling Conference, it has been a whirlwind of events. Between seminars, test rides, walking in this gorgeous country that winds the heck out of anyone not used to 10K elevations, and meeting…

Day 2–Ely, NV to Moab, UT
The morning came early or maybe I should say the night never ended. Down the hall in the Hotel Ely, a vintage hotel casino, a lively all night party brewed and by 2 am I’d had quite enough. Rather than yell out the door as others had done and been ignored, I put on earplugs.…

The CO journey begins! Sacramento, CA to Ely, NV
Had the bike packed and was on the road by 9am. For those of you that know me, this is a serious feat considering I didn’t make my usual 5 trips back into the house for forgotten items! It’s amazing when a plan comes together. The one thing I didn’t plan was how chilly it…
