This is for you, Bart!

This blog, and the adventure it describes, are dedicated to my friend, co-worker and fellow adventure lover, Bart.
Bart would prefer to be riding his Moto Guzzi down a scenic road, but unfortunately he is limited by health issues.

My hat (helmet) is off to you, my friend, and I hope you will get some enjoyment from reading about my little adventure until you are well enough to get back to planning your own.

Cheers,
Rick.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
but I have promises to keep,
and miles to go before I sleep.

Marching to Zion

I camped near Washington, Utah, just outside of Zion National Park.
 

Quail Creek Reservoir is up the road about a mile:
I'll be seeing Zion today, and maybe Bryce N.P. as well.
Now that I'm in the area of the parks that inspired this trip, I'll be slowing the pace a bit.

    Can't believe how much snow you encountered....glad Beatty was there!! Just checked your trip up and down Zion Park Blvd - looks like your top speed was a whopping 13.32 :-) Did it look like the Dragon's Tail?

    Wow - I don't remember going that fast! :-)
    It's the tight road plus tons of tourists, RV's, etc.
    There is a very tight tunnel through the canyon wall that they restrict to one-way. It's a mile long, so there is a long wait for your turn.
