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
Day Nine—Keystone to Cortez There was a chill in the air as I road out of the 10K foot elevation of Keystone and realized that I would remain in high elevations until I reached the Utah border. Even Mesa Verde area lies between six and eight thousand feet but breathing would be easier than it…

Days 4 to 8 – AMA Women and Motorcycling Conference…I made it!!
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 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.…

Nearly time for the AMA Women and Motorcycling!
In preparation for the conference, I got a new camera to document the ride across the country as well as colored highlights in my hair! I be styling now and self-portraits will abound! The camera is a Kodak Z915. It is a clever little camera with a 10X zoom and 10MP. My old Kodak has…

Riding the Grease: UT to NV and the end to a GREAT RIDE
We knew we needed to do our best to include Bryce NP in this day so after absorbing the complete beauty of Capitol Reef we rode onward toward Bryce. Panguitch was our overnight spot with Kharon’s Harold’s Place Cabins as our destination. It was a tough job, this trip, and we were doing our best…

Riding the Grease: Green River, UT to Panguitch, UT
We left Green River with the wind still howling, but with our tanks full of gas, we felt ready to take it on. Green River is a pretty sad sight of a town that was thriving at one time before the freeway. Now, it is run down, with many closed and boarded up businesses. The…
