Alaska Day 25

We pulled out of Idaho Falls bright and early, well not so bright, but it was early, well not really early, just at our normal starting time. It used to get light at 4 in the morning, but now its not getting light until around 6. We decided to hook it down I-15 for about 70 miles to McCammon, ID. We then headed east on 30 towards Green River.

The ride on 30 was very scenic. The temperatures were cool and the roads were good. Saw a few of my favorite critters, but other than missing a turn, the ride to Green River was pretty uneventfull. Once we arrived at Green River we gassed us and Dick decided to take a closer look at his wheel bearing. It didn't look good, and our options were few, so we decided to continue on.

From Green River we headed down 530 through the Flaming Gorge Rec. Area. I have bypassed this road many a times, and now I regret ever doing that. This is one hell of a scenic road. It is a must if you are ever in the area.

From there we headed down 191 to Vernal, UT and then over to Rangley, CO. This is where we planned to stay the night. It was hot when we arrived, and I do mean hot. We checked into an overpriced motel, and ate at the Subway next door.

It was a great day of riding. Not sure what to do about Dick's trailer, but well work it out some how.

Tomorrow we plan to get to Walsenburg, CO. We will see if that plans out.
