We’re on schedule to get Rai Sue to her plane in Cortez, but not without some help. Our plans to ride the Burr trail were thwarted when we found out that the dirt portion was now all sand due to a dry winter. The detour through Grand Escalante added about 70 miles and a big climb. Luckily, we managed to get a couple of rides from some very kind people. The first ride involved stuffing four people, two bikes, all our great, and the angry chihuahuas into an old ford explorer. For the second ride, we put our bikes and gear into the boat they were hauling. The riding has continued to be amazing – every hill we go over brings us to a different landscape. We just finished the last big climb before I trade Rai Sue in for Nick and Jeff.
It’s a foul trade, we know. :-/
Hey do you have your clarinet with you? I bought a pocket trumpet just for the trip! If you don’t have it, should I grab from your house?
