The light was right the day before:

For some reason, I can't wait to get back out there. Maybe next summer . . . . .

Mikegc- stunning pics

- you must be much more patient than I. Crazy good lighting in some of those.

Thanks for sharing everyone

Now for some rootbeer and fry sauce

And I of the red soil and megaliths

I will admit though after three days of riding through lush green gouges with steams running along side I thought I couldn't take any more (sort of like a green tree and water high) though in truth I really just wanted to hop on my bike every morning and ride till dinner (but alas home eventually called)

Well, now that you tell me it's a flag, I can see that it plainly is. Funny how the mind gets stuck on what it thinks something looks like.

Y'all are making me SO impatient to get back to the west. Great thread, Signal! I've been enjoying every page of it.

Glad to have you along

Today-
Trappers Loop/East Canyon/Guardsman Pass

Pineview Res- Must be getting cold, not one person on the water this morning

The old train station in Morgan Utah- was at one point a fairly important waypoint for the transcontinental RR

East canyon- back on the Pony Express

Near the top

The 3 passes were spectacular today

Sweet pics, Signal!!

Over Guardsmans Pass-

New pavement on the park city side

Lots of snow from last week (or so) toward Brighton. SOme of the dirt was pretty rutted/washboarded in sections- but little dust

Paraglider up over the Park City side (bet the view was spectacular)

SOme of the colors through the day were clearly a bit past their peak, but not this grove

Brighton area-

Great day for chasing canyons

Great pics as always Signal!

I was I was up on the Brighton side of the pass yesterday. I was going to go up and over to Midway, but there are sections of the road, mainly in the shadows , covered in a couple inches of ice. Not snow, ice. Ice and I have not gotten along in the past, so I went back down big cotton wood canyon.

BEautiful up there

Actually saw/encountered a few ice patches from freeze/melt on the brighton side today on the pavement (north side shadows)- most were in the other (uphill) lane, but the first one really took me by surprise. Looked like standing water until I got close.
Some long shadows in the pines, I imagine that ice is there for the duration at this point.

Yea, that's what I was thinking. Time to head out to the west desert I guess.

Summer did go very quickly. Funny, but even with the snow up high, I never really considered there may be ICE on the road (dumb). Thought process changed fast.

true enough- may be the time for a big lap around the giant salty drainage pond (though would be a dawn to dusk thing now with the short days)
