Day 4

One chic is not allowed to cook anymore. Left early in the cool morning air. Winding along the Fremont river in the morning air along the cliffs of Capitol Reef, is what riding is all about.

First gas spot found us in a station carved into the rock. A wall was actually made of stone.

The ride on HW 95 east from Hog Springs through Fry Canyon into the Natural Bridges National Momument was breathtaking. Long sweeping curves through majestic red rock canyons. Not to be missed.

Emergency gas was obtained from a ranger at Natural Bridges State Park. We were allocated 2 gallons, 1 for each Harley. This is a little known fact, the ranger offered this after we realized that we could not view the bridge because we could not make it to the next station.

We have a new friend from France who is traveling from Costa Rica to Alaska. He was expecially charming in that he spoke no English, and we spoke no French. We felt this relationship had hope. (kidding husbands/friends!) Because we could split him 5 ways, we left him at the side of the road. Only to see him 3 more times in our travels.

Lunch was unique in a open park, wonderful bathroom with clean, full pressure, hot/cold water. We had a`picnic. Later, one hip chic had to take a picture, and became seperated from the group. This started the confusion, follow soon thereafter by a missed turn. 3 of the wandering nomad's ran across a herd of wild horses on the road. A chic quietly eased them off the road, and then another chic felt the irrestible urge to honk. At this point, one chic was worried about gas, and headed to the hotel (again) and the other chics went searching for the other wandering chic's through the desert for 40 miles.

high temperature was 107, low was 55.
