Posse Ride Day 5

John and I left Ogden at 06:15 this morning 😴😴😴. But it was worth it. We hit three dealers in Salt Lake City, then hightailed it to Moab. We picked up a picnic lunch at a grocery store and rode to the entrance of Arches National Park! Woohoo! We got to the gate at exactly 12:00, which was the beginning of our timed entry ticket. Perfect!

After a stop at the visitor center, we rode through the park, stopping at just about every pulloff and viewpoint. We had lunch at Panorama Point, which was incredibly beautiful, but so very hot. 103°F 🥵🥵🥵. By the time we made it back to the entrance, we had drunk all of our Gatorade and water. Luckily we were able to refill all of our bottle and take a break in the shade before riding out.

Somewhat cooler, we left the park and took UT128 north along the Colorado River. This is one of my favorite roads, and I enjoyed watching John's head turn on a swivel as he tried to take in the scenery.

Despite the heat, we had a wonderful day that ended with dinner at the Grand Junction HD. Winning!!!

So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️
