| Somewhere in the wild desert of Utah on Hwy
24, north of Hanksville. This is where I stopped for a photo
opportunity. A nice photo or two resulted. |

But wait! What is that I see?
On the rear of the trunk lid... |
| Can you see it better now? It is a
film canister...with an exposed roll of film...with shots from my first
56 Montana Counties
ride...including the Missoula Courthouse...and all of the photos on the
way down here from /\/\onTana! {=-{< >>sigh<< I discovered it missing a few miles down the road. I didn't lose anything out of the trunk, thankfully. All the junk strapped to the back seat tends to keep the lid shut. |

On Hwy 12 south of Torrey.As you can see, I
was gaining altitude. I was driving up the road, and I was
wondering if I had bought a real lemon. Not guts, no
acceleration, not running smooth (A GoldWing not
running smooth? Say it ain't So!!!). I was despondent, until I saw two
signs: "Altitude: 8,000 feet" "20% Grade" Mystery solved! Lots of rain and lightening up this high. |
