Iron Butt Association BunBurner 1500

We turned off the Interstate just inside the state line to follow a very winding road, again along the Colorado River. This one was just a two-lane road though, with rises and falls, lefts and rights, with spectacular views around every corner. Red cliffs, green trees, blue skies. I actually slowed the pace just to be able to soak in the scenery, and it's a very fun road to ride. At Moab, "corner" #1, where the temperature was now 80 degrees, we filled up at Texaco and headed south. Along US-191 we got to see Wilson Arch (just like the ones at Arches National Park) and at one point were surprised to ride through an area with tall Ponderosa pine trees.
