Anniversary greetings for Tracy

Craig Chester and Greg Warrington met up with us in Moab after a quick run down from Idaho Falls. Craig is a partner in the Chester Group of Harley-Davidson Dealerships. Greg is general manager of Grand Teton Harley-Davidson & Buell, Eagle Rock Harley-Davidson and Jackson Hole Harley-Davidson, all part of the Chester Group.

Over dinner at the Sunset Grill in Moab, Craig bemoaned the fact he was away from home and his wife on their anniversary, thus, the title for this post in case Tracy stops by the blog.

Snapshots from Monument Valley

The gang of six stretches a leg after arriving in Monument Valley, with the valley's extraordinary red buttes, mesas and spires in the background. (Double-click on this and any other image in the blog for a larger view.)

One red mesa is more impressive than the next in the valley located in southern Utah, up against the northern border of Arizona. Or is this a butte atop a mesa?

Here's the rain storm that followed us north into Monument Valley from our lunch stop at the Anasazi Inn. We managed to miss most of the rain.

Ed chomps down on a huge Navajo burger at the Anasazi Inn near the entrance to Monument Valley. Dessert was left half-eaten when the first roll of thunder was heard, warning of the approaching storm.

Day 2: Sedona to Moab, 350 miles

Today, we see more of Arizona’s Red Rock Country, after breakfast at the famous Coffee Pot restaurant in Sedona. We’ll head north and slightly east, through Oak Creek Canyon and Flagstaff, across out-of-this-world Monument Valley and then into Utah and Moab. About 7 or 8 hours in the saddle.
