Descending

We have a view for hundreds of miles.
The four corners are before us.

8000 ft up

Morning sun

Did someone say scorpion

This one we saw while canoeing the Green River.

Above Monticello

The mountains (12,000ft or so) above Monticello. The town is around 7,500 ft and beautiful with the changing seasons. We spend a day relaxing, playing at the park, doing laundry and massaging our sore legs.

With Kerouac
At the laundromat

Laundromat

We spend some time in laundromats on our journey. Here is a photo of our cloths in a dryer. We are currently in Monticello, Utah. The clocks in this town vary by two hours and seven minutes. I have yet to find two clocks that tell the same time. I wonder if we are in a portal. Does anyone know what time it is?

At the park in Moab

Getting ready for the next leg of the bike trip

At the park trying out our new tent which we had couriered from Seattle. Also fine tuning the bikes. Tomorrow we leave for our journey to Tucson.

Oh perfect love

Life on the road.

Desert life

Farewell to our tent

Last night I was folding our lovely green tent for the las time. It's been a great home for the last 2 and a half months but unfortunately the zippers started to go on it and that just won't do in the land of red rocks and scorpions. Fortunately we were able to get a replacement which is being shipped as I write this.

As I folded our green friend away, I reminisced on the places we've been and the things we've done and seen since we left home.

Our trip on the Green River was truly magical.

We are excited to get on our bikes for the last leg of our America by Bike journey.

Arizona, here we come!!!

A typical day on the river

We are now back in Moab and enjoy our first shower in 12 days. We also enjoy a meal out on the town.

Waiting for the jetboat

After paddling for 10 days on the Green River, we are picked up by a jetboat and travel up the Colorado back to Moab.
