so cute.
boulder, UT hosts - curtis and dianne on left, brian, jamie, tammy and kem on right
me handstandin' for no good reason at all. all that built up energy from sitting in the car i guess.
escalante state park.
nate hammering down on the initial climb, joe not far behind
kem and samara heading towards the steep part of the climb
another support day that i wish i were riding just based on the scenery. jump car was a good place to be though because i was able to see everyone multiple times and take tons of pictures and video (explanation: we have three vehicles – one “jump” car, and two vans. at all points we have a vehicle in front or the lead vehicle and a vehicle in back or the “sweep”. the jump car is the one that usually goes back and forth shuttling water and making sure things are going smoothly and often leads until the other vehicles are ready). went from tropic, ut to boulder, ut on the most beautiful route i have ever seen. it started out amazing with a slow climb through rock formations in all directions. they descended into escalante state park where there was a petrified forest and a gorgeous lake. continued through escalante and after miles of mountains and canyons to near boulder, our hosts – mike, brian, ace, and ashlie – met the riders for the last 10 or so miles into town. We then took a tour of the anasazi indian museum that mike runs as our overnight hosts came to pick us up. my group was jamie, tammy, kem and I and we were hosted by curtis and dianne (and their friend brian) who graciously fed us and amazing dinner and dessert, wined us, and set us up with a great place to sleep and clean up. they have this amazing place in the hills where the views from all windows are breathtaking and you can see for miles in all directions. they also have two adorable dogs. tomorrow we do a relatively easy day to hanksville for another night of camping – we are told that tomorrow will be more beautiful than today - which i find hard to believe. we will soon see. night everyone.

Cute puppies! We're thinking of trading Soni in for one....ha, ha! Wining and dining? Wining? How is that possible when you've got to get on that freakin' little razor blade seat the next morning??? Come to think of it, maybe it makes sense. Love, R D and S
