Where are we now, what state is this, what day is it and what time zone are we in?
The questions that seem to get asked several times every day by everyone of us.
At time of writing we are just about to leave San Juan Trading Post in Utah where we stayed last night, right along side the San Juan river which cuts through the massive red rock here.
Yesterday we left Grand Canyon (Tusayan) in freezing temps and snow. The Sun quickly melted away any ice and the first 30 miles, which Andy and I did, was mainly down hill with some magnificent views and vistas of the Grand Canyon and surrounding landscape. Every day the place seems to through up another couple of wonders for us to marvel at.
The afternoon, saw us in fairly stiff winds and dropping temps reaching Monument Valley, famous for its red stacks and western cowboy film scenery. For many of us this was THE site that we came to see.
Ian has already filled a 2GB memory card with 1200 photo’s and the rest of the team probably have another couple of thousand. We’re going to bore the pants off friends and family when we get home with them for sure.
Today we cycle from Mexican Hat (Utah) into our 5th state in as many days, New Mexico and today’s destination of Dulce (219 miles). Tomorrow wil see us reach Taos and a police escort and civic reception. Can’t wait…..
Happy Pedalling
