USA : UT : Canyon Reef NP → Escalante : May 2016
I got up as Judy and Kerry were rigging up their trailer and packing up. They offered me a cup of coffee that I gladly accepted, calling it ‘hot liquid mood enhancer’. Not long after, they were ready to roll and we wished each other farewell. Loaded up, I rode down to the small bakery…

USA : UT : Moab → Capitol Reef National Park : May 2016
The WordPress Android app is SUPER frustrating to use with poor internet and posts with pictures. I’ll try and add the pictures later, but I’m giving up on including them for the time being. 😦 After a luxurious night in the La Quinta, the morning consisted of a superfluous shower, gorging on the complimentary breakfast,…

USA : UT : Canyonlands : May 2016
After publishing my previous post, morning of Day 10, I finished breakfast, removed the fenders from my bicycle, said goodbye to Denali, the super sweet guy that made breakfasts and dinners for donations, and looked like a kindly wizard in a cowboy hat, I rode down the road a bit and met up with Gabrielle,…

USA : UT : Naturita → Moab : Apr 2016
Having fallen asleep so early the night before, I woke up real early and felt totally refreshed. As mentioned in previous post, I did laundry, enjoyed a long breakfast in the bistro, did some minor repairs and such, then took off. Not a lot to report. Got some light rain and narrowly avoided heavier rain.…

USA : CO : Paonia State Park → Naturita : Apr 2016
After waking up, packing up, and doing some picnic table yoga which is as silly looking as it sounds, but invented for the sake of my back by my brain none-too-soon, I was surprised to be briefly interrupted by other actual humans stopping by to use the campground toilet. From there I breezed into Paonia…

USA : CO : Glenwood Springs → Paonia SP : Apr 2016
One thing about sleeping somewhere you’re not totally supposed to be sleeping is there’s no temptation to loaf around come sunrise. At 6:45 am I was lying down, mustering the will to get up and pack up when a jogger passed headed towards Carbondale. He didn’t notice me but it motivated me to get going. …

USA : CO : Catamount Camp → Glenwood Springs : Apr 2016
Another chilly night. Come morning, I was plumb out of water save a half cup frozen in the bottle. Ceecee had said the Colorado River should be good for filtering and drinking, but Bill warned of Beaver Fever and recommended treatment. They both agreed to steer clear of water that drains from cattle pasture, and…

USA : CO : Stagecoach → Colorado River Road SP : Apr 2016
It was a frosty night for sure. I kept reasonably warm in my cheapish synthetic sleeping bag rated for, what, 40°?… definitely for not-that-cold. I bike maybe an hour to first town, which has nothing but a Post Office, but the Post Office has Ceecee, who happily gives me some much appreciated water and snickers…

USA : CO : Steamboat → Stagecoach : Apr 2016
After a nice hotel morning, spreading everything out and doing first on-road total organization, getting in some good stretches, I geared up, checked out, and met a woman I’d met online the evening before. I use Tinder to meet local people while I travel, and it works really well…and no, not for cheap hookups, obvs…

USA : CO : Walden → Steamboat Springs : Apr 2016
My sister Julie, and her husband Steve did me the huge favor of helping me cheat the snow due in the mountains, and drove me about 2.5 hours into the mountain town of Walden in North Park Colorado. We enjoyed a lunch at a small diner, and some friendly conversation with a local who does…
