Day 5 Part-4(Sunday)

This is near Saligman Arizona. Apparently when you rent a Harley, they don't make sure you know how to ride. Shortly after I took this pic one of the riders picked up his legs when this bike wasn't moving. Of course the bike promptly fell on him pinning him under it. Mean ole Mr Gravity.....


Just an old workhorse past its prime. Spending its last days in Seligman.

Downtown Seligman.

This guys having a bad day. He must have missed the big huge sign that said "No Vehicle Over 40 Feet".








Ouch!






The drivers side corner was resting on the road. He still has 1 more switchback to go too!





This is a cool old building. Oatman is a really nice little town. Though kinda like a tourist trap, it has managed to maintain the feeling of an old western town. It had a much more authentic feel to it than Moab.







This old safe was sitting outside an old building in Oatman Arizona. Looked like it had been there for 100 years.


















Farming fields in Arizona. Kinda cool looking.

Day 5 (Sunday)


This is a good description of the road down from Natural Bridges Utah to Valley of the Gods. As you can see there isstill snow on theground, butit disapeared quickly as we descended the mountain.










The shot to the right is a good example of the road down the mountain. Very steep and no guard rail. As I remember the road up to Pikes Peak, this one is much worse. I believethe eleve]ation at the top is about 9,500 feet and you drop down to about 4,000 feet.















Finally the Valley of The Gods. It was a stressful drivedown the maountain, mostly because of on comming traffic which consisted of cars, motorcycles and RVs if you can believe it. But it was well worth it. Not only did it bring the best scenery yet, it also brought warmer weather.






I'm sure all of these have names, but I don't know them so I will just let the pics speak for them.
