Utah Moto Day 2

Up and over the Henry mountains out of hanksville crossing bull creek pass at 10500 feet. I've driven by these mountains many times on my way to lake powell and always wondered what is up there ? Today we found out. A view of the Colorado plateau quite unlike any other.



On our way down we came across an old abandonded Wayne county school bus. It was identical to the one from "into the wild". Kitchen matress and poisonous plants. We pumped a few rounds frond Vans weapon like a good redneck and moved on.



The temperatures were sure nice at 10500 but quickly started to bake us as we dropped west into Capitol reef national park where we headed south on the famous notom dirt road. The scenery along this primitive road is breathtaking and somehow made us forget about the blazing heat. We rode to the junction of the burr trail and made our way up the switchbacks to the strike valley overlook which is a great place to see the entire waterpocket fold of Utah. Cody maverik seemed to like it and wasn't bothered by the un penguin like heat.



We then proceeded to drop in elevation ad eventually found ourselves at bullfrog marina on lAke Powell. Unfortunately there were no rooms at the inn so we found ourselves camping after paying 50 dollars for dinner and $2 for a hot shower.



Off to catch the lake Powell ferry in the morning and onto Cedar Mesa in search of the ancient ones.
