Antelope Canyon

Miles Monday: 0

Hours in the saddle: 0

Monday, we took a boat tour of Antelope Canyon. I will update this post later with pictures. The internet sucks so much, we’re a bit annoyed. Julie found a good dystopia series and worked really hard to get the 2nd book after a really bad cliffhanger. I had my kindle, ipad and phone all working on it and at one point they were all sitting there thinking. It was barbaric. 

The boat tour left from our hotel lobby and seemed to be an easier way to see Antelope Canyon since I’ve read that it gets really crowded. It’s in Navajo Nation and you have to go with a Navajo guide by foot, and Julie looked in to some of those tours. One of our boat crew said that the US government owns the water, but rhe Navajo Nation owns the land. 

I tried to capture the boat making tight turns and how narrow the canyon was. It was really cool. The sky was clear and we went on a morning cruise so it wasn’t too hot. 

Back to the hotel room to wait out the afternoon heat and plan our next journey, to Colorado. Hard to do with shitty unreliable internet. But that’s where we’re headed tomorrow.

Days 6 & 7: Shitty End to an Awesome Trip

Image
Miles today: 200+ Miles so far: 980? (Gah! We won't hit 1,000 now.) So when we were on the Niagara river, our phones touched Canadian airspace and we both got messages about international rates. When we were getting ready to head out, Jaron noticed that navigation was now in metric and he could not figure out how to change it back to custom. The usual options were not presenting themselves. So we were having an interesting time working with that. At the next stop he was able to change it back to custom, but decided to leave it at metric because, after all, his motorcycle is very popular in Europe.  We officially don't GAF about check-out times anymore. When anyone asks, we keep saying we're amost outta there. Noon seems like a far more reasonable check-out time.  We did not have any hotel arranged for Thu night since we hadn't decided what exactly we were doing on the trip back. Julie has been wanting to "freeball it" and just figure out where we're st...

Post-Party Depression

Miles today: 317.7 (2,965.3 so far) Hours in the saddle: 5:39 (69:03 so far) Theme music: Eminem & Julie’s “shake it” playlist Cold long-haul day today.  Shook out all of the maps except for PA and did route planning last night. I’m trying to have things to look forward to on the way home other than interstates and cheap motels. 🤮 Starting to feel a little bit of post-party depression ( https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.urbandictionary.com/define.php%3Fterm%3DPost-Party%2520Depression%26amp%3Dtrue )  now that our trip is winding down. I’ve spent like 9 months looking forward to it and am already trying to think of the next one. Jaron said we should finish this one first?  So I found a couple of scenic stretches and we have a couple of stops and we’ll get home by Friday. We have our camping gear, but it takes time to set up and pack up and we have just had a lot of long days so we haven’t camped on this trip. I didn’t ever find a good resource for campgrounds in Canad...
