July 16, 17, 18, 19 - gw

Haven't provided comments for 4 days now, sorry - though others have been giving some updates. Anyway, here goes.

July 16 - No miles, temps in the 70's and 80's, few clouds. We spent the day at the BMW Rally. Got to see all the farkles. Wanted to get the Ohlin shocks put on the bike, but chickened out. Wish I had done that now. The shocks on the bike (I think) are getting loose. Will have them checked when I get home at the BMW dealer. Only bought about $100 worth of stuff, so I would call that a good thing.



July 17, 18, 19 - Temps from high 70's to low 100's, skies clear. Highest temp we hit was 109! When someone calls it "dry heat" out hear and tells you it is not that hot. Tell them they are full of crap! When its hot, it's hot. Not much to tell about the trip other than there is alot of wide open spaces between Redmond, OR and Durango, CO. We saw really nice twisties East of Redmond, then basically it was heads down on the Interstate system through Boise, Salt Lake City and Provo, UT. We then got into nice twisties for about 100 miles into Green River, UT. We toured Arches National Park in Eastern Utah this morning after leaving Green River about 7:30 a.m. I think it was in the 90's by the time we saw 10 a.m. Got into Durango about 1:00. Just goofing off for the rest of the day and saving myself for dinner. It is in the 90's here in Durango. We will spend the next couple days riding in Colorado and ending up near the Denver airport so Janet, Pam, and Lea can board their planes bound for Detroit on Thursday morning.
