Wonderful part of the world to live, and I'm a little bit envious!

My wife carries the spare, and I always open a window when I get out to take pictures.. Sent from my blah blah blah...

The wildlife here are quite habituated to people.. Our campsite and those around were reserved for the remainder of the weekend, so we got our stuff packed, hit the Flaming Gorge Visitor Center for a map then ambled on down the road again.. Mooving right along through the open-range...

We had some fun with the camera.. Up late, but we slept really well.. Colin had setup *his* tent, but since we'd been told there had been a bear in the campground several evenings recently we all stayed in the one large tent. The only animal troubles we had were with the curious...

Back at it... Some laughter about how it was 108 degrees just yesterday, not too far South of here at Green River.. Picnic time.. Back on the road. We looped up into Wyoming, then East.. We do a little bit of exploring/poking-around to find a place to end the day.. We found...

Still not up into the pass yet, but we pull off looking for a spot to grab a snack.. Pic-a-nic tables come with advice.. It's wet everywhere from the snow-melt.. The streams are flowing heavily.. We play a bit in the snow, and take pictures.. John

Understatement of the year. I think one could spend a lifetime there and still not see half the good stuff! John

June 30th, and we drive up into the hills.. Wet sticky mud, just like home.. Let's keep going. See what we can find.. Climbing up into the Uintas.. Someone has a sense of humor.. :) Sign said the road was closed, but we headed up into the mountains anyway. Encountered this...

Within a few miles we're back in the weather.. I don't like the looks of that sky.. Being from Indiana, I find it odd when the presence of cattle indicates we're nearing civilization.. I can't get my head into camping tonight. Last night was just miserable, I'm tired and the prospect...

So much eye candy!

Whew. It's been a month, and I'm back from this and can get going on this trip report again without so many distractions.. We move along and the sun weaves in and out of the clouds.. Beautiful day, really, now that it's quit raining and the wind has abated, especially with the mild...

Not too much farther and there is a marked pull-off for ancient artwork.. It's amazing that this stuff has survived.. We're here for literally just a few minutes enjoying the windbreak along with the art when the gusts pickup enough to start rolling baby-head-sized rocks and larger...

I was just up there a couple of weeks ago on the little Suzuki dirt bike. Beautiful country! Spent one night in Copper Harbor and enjoyed some incredibly good whitefish.. Love the U.P.! John

We were looking forward to a nice breeze overnight to dissipate the heat a bit. What we weren't expecting were high winds and sand being blown into the tent everywhere. It was a very long, sleepless night, and we were all somewhat miserable by daybreak. At this point, Colin has pretty much...

It's not a long drive or technical, but has pretty much all the things that make me want to have a Jeep and dual-sport motorcycle. And before very long at all we're at the top and with a little imagination we might be back in Kansas.. But we're not, and Colin, being ever the kid, wants to...

Yeah. Almost Zen perhaps. If I ever get the DSL working again at home, I'll update some more. Not too pleased with Frontier Communications this week. John Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk

Beautiful!

Thanks. I've got, like, 2 different things (possibly more) going on in my head at the same time and haven't been able to catch this thread up to where it needs to be (finished) and still have a boatload of photos to sort through. Thanks for bearing with. John

Beautiful blue skies, even with the heat. Something we're not used to back East.. Just a fun, easy road.. Yeah, it fit.. Some sand.. John

Just around the bend are dinosaur footprints. And just slightly beyond is the downhill end of Long Canyon.. Before too long the route starts climbing.. John
