Default Steevo's 2015 Ride "Out West" - Ride Report

Hey Crew,
Barbara and I have just returned home from an INCREDIBLE 23 Day, 6,000+ mile road trip. Highlights included riding in Colorado, Utah, Arizona, even ventured into California and Nevada. Had a nice visit with Jerry "Masterblaster" Reidy at his new home in Texas. Rode Monument Valley, OATMAN, JEROME, and made many stops on Route 66.
I'm gonna start by sharing some pics with you, in no particular order.
The videos will take quite a while to go through.

Monument Valley.

...


...Arches National Park, Moab, Utah.


Delicate Arch. The story of the hike up to this spot... OMG.



Telluride, Colorado.




...Standin' on a Corner...

If you look down deep into the valley, you can almost see Telluride. We took a hike up the mountain, to see "Bridal Veil Falls", the tallest waterfall in Colorado.





It was worth it.

That is cool Steveo! Beautiful country out there. Thanks for sharing. I called my wife in here to look at the pictures. We both said one day we will make that trip, but she says no motorcycle for her.

We also visited MANY Harley-Davidson dealers, I now have many new patches! YAY!



Oh, and many of you have not seen the new chopped tour-pak on my Street Glide.


This was the view from our hotel on the Mississippi River, across from Natchez, MS



This was the view from our hotel in Needles, California


Heading into Laughlin, Nevada.

Steevo, enjoyed the pics. We did about the same trip, except from Illinois, back in 2010 on our 09 Ultra. I got a little carried away buying t-shirts at different Harley dealerships and last year my wife made a really cool quilt out of them.


We both agree that the 2010 trip out west on the Harley was our best vacation in all of our 33 years of marriage. We hope to do a re-run in the next couple of years on our present Ultra.
