Gabriel, Zion, and more…

My good buddy Gabriel posted this photo on Facebook earlier today.    I like it!

Gabriel rode with us on the Western America Adventure Ride.   He’s a cool guy and a great rider.

On the second day of our Western America Adventure Ride, we rode through Zion National Park.  It seems like we made that visit at the right time, as there have been some wild goings-on in Zion since we rolled through it.

The first Zion calamity is probably one you’ve heard about.   Zion experienced a flash flood one week ago today that took several lives…

Gabriel and Juan Carlos hiked deeper into the canyon than any of us, and they were in the area where the flash flood swept through.   Like I said, good timing on our part.

And then, just yesterday, I saw this photo of a boulder that came crashing down into Zion, on the very same road we took into and out of the park…

I’m in the very early stages of organizing our next Baja ride, and I’ll be speaking about that at the Horizons Unlimited event up in Mariposa this weekend.  I hope to see you there.  And regarding our next trip to Baja, we’re going there the third week in March.  That will put us in Baja when the whales are in town.   Buy an RX3 and you can ride with us!    Buy a copy of 5000 Miles At 8000 RPM and I’ll sign it when I buy you a beer at the Beachcomber bar in Baja!
