Well. Okay, then… After riding through wind and rain, and yes a little snow, I made it into Salt Lake City. The snow-capped Wasatch Mountains towering above the sun-lit valley is always an impressive sight! Oh!..
Did I mention warm and sunny?.. YES!!!
After sitting on the bike for a couple of thousand miles, I was in desperate need of exercise. A good friend Hillary offered to show me one of her favorite hikes in the front-range to Grandeur Peak. A short hour and 45-minute hike to the top, and you get a kick-ass view of the Great Salt Lake and the City, as well as other peaks in the Range.
"From down there you can only imagine, from up here you know. So get off your ass!!!"It was very nice to lay back and have a well-earned bask in the sun. Thanks again, Hilly!
SLC was great! But it's time to head south for a bit. I think from here on-out, staying cool is going to be more important than staying warm. (You can say that again, Brother! It’s 90s in the Keys! Welcome to the Equator! We’ll be waiting with a cold Land Shark Lager, Jimmy Buffet’s brew.)
