What a day!

All I have to say about Colorado and Utah is - wow! The scenery was amazing from the Rocky Mountains to the desert. The desert was the biggest surprise. I expected it to be boring but it is a constantly changing tableau of colors, textures, large and subtle variations of plant life, red, green, brown and gray then suddenly a bit of yellow or purple thrown in. If you spent you entire life taking pictures in Utah, you would never capture it all.

New states for Kelly so far this trip - Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada. Speaking of Nevada, we were trying to reach Las Vegas and passing through Overton, NV checking out the bike route when Daniel got pulled over for going 35 in a 25 mph. We also had an out of state licese plate and 6 bikes on the car. This is when Daniel discovered that he left his drivers license at home on the copy machine. After sitting in the car for 40 minutes in 100 degree heat, Daniel finally called home, got his license number and they let us go. We finally reached Vegas around 10:00PM. We were on the road for 15 hours today but definitely getting close.
