It's Motor Mike again with the daily report. We left Camp Verde this morning around 8:30 a.m. AZ. time. Once again it was windy, but the wind was to our south, so we had a tailwind. I had my best mileage ever with 74.5 mpg...but the next tank was only 41 mpg because the wind switched directions, and was directly on our nose. The bike ran great today with no overheating problems, so the problem I had yesterday was taken care of with the new fuse.
We rode north on highway 89 all the way into Utah, crossing over Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell, then turned west on highway 14 to Cedar City, Utah, crossing over Summit Mountain. The peak was almost 10,000 feet, and there was snow most of the way up, and lots of it on top. It was cold too, but warmed up quickly as we descended into Cedar City.
This trip is the first trip with the new Caribou luggage, and I love it. It packs easily, and attaches to the bike in about 45 seconds. Ok...that's my plug for the trip.
I take this Blog way to seriously to turn it into a daily advertisement.
Tomorrow we continue on northwest towards our destination of Olancha, California.
Stay tuned for Day #5.
Motor Mike
