The Native Iowan

A great day!

A strange, wandering route. And I end up at a gem of a little place, Cedar City, Utah. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedar_City,_Utah

I ended up on Utah Highway 14, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_State_Route_14

The entire day was cool. Not a terribly long ride, and 7 hours is easy enough, but the country I rode through was worth the price of admission…

First stop this morn was the Grand Canyon… Of course, nothing but a big hole in the ground, but damn! What an awe inspiring big hole.

Didn’t stop a lot today. Not did I get to go very fast. The parks are all slower speed limits. But traffic was kind. I really enjoyed the diverse landscapes. The very best was my last hour today, riding through the cedar forest. The air was scented by the astringent-ish smell of the tress. It was very nice…

Got lucky with the light on this one…

Wide open and endless vistas…

Zoom in… You’ll see a 3-mule-team pulling a covered wagon…

Lakes in the drylands…

At repose…

more later…
