The escape


We have often mentioned how good the weather has been. Well our luck ran out yesterday. We started in Victor Idaho and ended in Diamondsville Utah. First thing the sun was out and we rode a short 20 miles to Wilson for breakfast. The ride took us through a mountain pass and in some light rain at snow level. Hugh said it wasnt much rain but that is compared to Lucindale. I thought it enough for a Mallee cocky to start seeding. After a delightfull breakfast we rode through some valleys and mountains with a post card view at every turn and riding on magnificant roads. Are you getting sick of us talking about views, well we are not sick of seeing them.

We did have two other rain events and managed to find a coffee shop, or as the picture shows a petrol station which happened to have coffee and a warm lounge to wait out the hail.

We ended in a wind swept Utah town of Diamondsville with not much to recomend it. On riding out today the mining and gas industries were very evidnet. 50 to maybe 100 well heads each extracting gas and sveral large factories either burning coal or manufacturing products from local mines.
