Road trip planning

So, I've already changed one minor detail. We won't be staying in Caineville. It's closer to home but there are no restaurants in this little town. So, we will drive to the other side of the park and stay in Torrey, UT at Austin's Chuckwagon Motel. Oh yeah! We are going all out on this adventure! They have smaller rooms with a queen bed for $55 a night with air conditioning and private bathrooms. Torrey seems to have many restaurant options as well. On our anniversary we like to be able to talk to dinner and not have to gear up and ride anywhere. All we really need for these trips is air conditioning, burgers, beer and an occasional steak. We should be good to go in Torrey I think.

Here are some links about the town and area.

Next up, I need to hit up the library for some books with hiking trails and scenic drives. :-)

6th Anniversary & 4th Road Trip!!!

Howdy folks!! Well, I haven't been riding much lately hence the lack of blog entries. But, we shall be making up for that when we make our next motorcycling road trip. It's our 6th wedding anniversary (on July 27th) and our 4th road trip with the only goal being to visit a place neither of us have been before. It was in our vows to visit new places. :-) Hubby's suggestion was to finally get to Utah. I've never visited any of the parks there. And I've only driven through once on a road trip with his daughter to visit colleges. She chose Oregon State in Corvallis and has long since graduated. That was an awesome road trip. She only had her driving permit. We drove my Civic from Denver to the west coast and back to Denver. Good times indeed. :-) But, I digress...

We've selected Capitol Reef National Park for this trip. The hubby has been to Arches and Canyonlands before so Capitol Reef was the next closest location. Bryce would have been our first choice I think but, rooms were all booked already. No worries. There are all sorts of things to see and do in that part of the world. We are excited to see and do them!

I just booked our room in Caineville, UT. It's on the east side of the park so, closer to Colorado. I think it will be another grand adventure. How can it not?  :-)

Stay tuned!!

(Hmmm.... I wonder if we can find a dual sport for the hubby before July 20th.... hmmmm....)
