RE: Ride across the USA

Django’s tech is working fine. We were st a motel in that area
Flyn. We’re leaving Hanksville around 1045 for natural bridges to get our campsite then Mexican hat via Blanding to eat at swinging steak restaurant then back the Mowgi switchbacks to come at natural bridges. Tomorrow we roll to Blanding then north to Moab.

We passed Flyn Rider at speed. He was heading north on his Nighthawk. We were heading south out of natural bridges monument. He had just came up the Mowgi Dugway Switchbacks and we were almost there. Will look for him in camp tonight. Long day. We crushed some miles and the unrelenting heat was trying to crush us. We’re in Mexican Hat getting ready to walk into the Swinging Steak

New tires are mounted:

Unfortunately the motorcycle doctor remounted the front wheel in a way, the the rotor was dragging at the brake calliper, very nasty sound, but noticed it not until bolder, as I wore my ear protection.

In Hankesville at Frulk's truck, I got the front wheel out and fixed that issue by myself. Was glad for the tools I brought with me...

I am glad he was happy to see you!

Oh wait, that is a gun in his pocket. Smile

One of the reasons the Doc was pleased to move to Escalante is that he was allowed to carry a gun.
