9-25-16 - Heat Escape - Day 45

                                                            Beautiful, chilly morning

We decided to layer up and ride today.  It wasn’t long we were unlayering.  It was such a beautiful day in the 70’s.  Wonderful!

We rode to Bluff, Utah, looked at the pretty scenery surrounding the town and the Fort Bluff historic site.  We continued to Sand Island Campground and took a lookie.  Pretty nice.  We rode on to Mexican Hat and Gooseneck State Park.  We paid $2 for a nice view for our picnic lunch at Gooseneck State Park. We had been here a few years ago riding in the truck because of the weather.   I will type again, it is much better to be on Amber touring around sightseeing than in the truck.

We did the Forest Gump view again today. Last time we were here, I convinced Lauren to get out of the truck in the rain and run like Forest Gump did in the movie while I took his picture. Run Forest Run didn’t happen today.

We decided to make the loop through Kayenta, Arizona. Several hours later, we made it back to Devil’s Canyon Campground. The last 9 miles we went up in elevation and the temperature dropped 8 degrees.  Of course, Fernykat was ready to come outside and explore.  She had her a big ole time, roaming, digging, and jumping. 

We had another great campfire, cooked on the grill, and are warm and toasty in the camper tonight, thanks to the generator.
