Photos and Videos Day 9

Here are the pictures and a video – long again but now that I figured out the right position and level for the mic I feel like talking and describing what’s going during the trip… let me know if I should make them shorter or if they are good like that 🙂


Day 9 – another stop

Another great day riding… 

Went from Evanston, WY to Cedar City, UT going through Salt Lake City and a “desert” – so much open space – mind boggling – so open that at one point I got REALLY bored and had to stop to regroup 🙂
At the end of the ride the wind picked up to a point of being very annoying.
Made it to exactly where I wanted to be – near Bryce and Zion National Parks – it will be a big loop to do tomorrow but I’ve been told it’s worth it. Hopefully the weather will allow me to do so – the forecast is more snow tomorrow in this area but it may only hit in the afternoon… by then I will be close to Las Vegas. 
Took a LOT of video today… will post them shortly. 

Day 9

Beautiful morning – 8am – breakfast and road 🙂

Quite cold with a chance of rain but seems like I won't see any of it.

Salt lake city today and south – should be a gorgeous ride down
through Utah.

Any suggestions?

Update

So the drive to Yellowstone was VERY long – did 466 miles in one day – going fast to get to LA in time for my scheduled bike tune up – also because there is not much between stops in this region.
Went through one of the most beautiful stretches of road I have ever seen – Big Horn National Park – it literally put tears into my eyes!!
Yellowstone was not that impressive to tell you the truth – maybe because I was very tired when I got there. The Old Faithful Inn was very impressive – an all log building – supposed to be one of the largest wooden structures in the world – kind of doubt that – saw many larger structures all made of wood in Japan and China – but that’s not part of the “world” as far as Americans go 🙂
Today was brutal – snowing like crazy for the first two hours of the trip – first a little tense about the ice on the road but then saw that it was not freezing – but then not seeing the road was getting annoying – had to lift up the helmet’s visor and just take in the cold wind to be able to see.
Once I passed Jackson the snow stopped and it was all good.
I stopped in a town called Evanston, WY – the ride was interesting – kept crossing between state lines… Wyoming to Idaho to Utah back to Wyoming.
Tomorrow the forecast is more snow where I’m at but sunny in Salt Lake City so planning on an early start…
Stay put for some cool videos from yesterday and today 🙂

Enough for today

Was planning on getting to Salt Lake City today but way too tired to
drive another minute!

Will post some pictures, videos and some more stories when I get to my
room.
