Bryce Canyon itself... Utah.
 Bryce Canyon itself... Utah. It turns out that I will be staying in Utah for about another month... how strange that when in Anza Borrego my thoughts where to head North, but slowly I went East... and now, looking at the map of Utah... with all its attractions and colors... why not wander a bit more here! If the US Postal mail is on track my parts should be in this morning... and then it will be on to the welder for fixing a new crack in the mounts... luckily a secondary mount. I am so mentally tired of all those breakages that I cannot even comment on them... All I want is a safe rig... the humor is hard to find... it does show however how society governs themselves, the ones in the business have been the hardest ones to deal with... The Manufacture at this point is doing what they can till I get there... new mounts? I can just imagine how the Corporate World is being ran... I do want to thank all the ones that have send me their support... they have made these pasts days easier and allow me to look into the future of this dilemma... Bryce Canyon was awesome. Rough conditions... but definitely a place to go back to in a bit warmer weather. Spirit has been a real trooper... and right now, he is also anxious to get going... Enjoy the Blog... Be well...

Michael and Sandra's Utah... my 100th Blog.
 Michael and Sandra’s Utah... my 100th Blog. Somehow it feels like I just have left yesterday, so much has happened and yet... so little! Moving on to some new sceneries within the same State, Utah... one that intrigues me a lot as it is so full of richness, great roads and incredible geological formations that have taken millions of year... And I get to camp in the middle of it all... quite a treat! We are regrouping these coming days, listening to a local Adv Rider Michael, and his wife Sandra that have opened their house... and kitchen with wide open arms... Spirit has two new buddies... what more can one ask! Today’s Blog... Be well... Ara & Spirit www.theoasisofmysoul.com our Blog.... |

A great campsite, north of Snow Canyon, Utah.
It is honestly the best one I have ever taken of him!... got lucky...
 A new campsite, north of Snow Canyon, Utah. 3 days... 4 days?... at Michael and Sandra, adding a few more pounds to this frail body... great company and time. 3 new tires, the rig seems really together and a new campsite, in the middle of some great BLM land. I have a long list of areas to visit, it is so endless here in Utah that this will take many more visits to even scratch the surface. Good deal... I would hate to run out of places to visit these coming ten years! Spirit is a bit sad today from losing his two buddies... he is starting to remind me of a sailor with a girl friend in every town... Enjoy the Blog and Pictures, there will be much going on, specially with the days becoming much longer, finally it feels like winter is behind us. You be well...

Aww your new photo of Spirit resting in the alcove is so soooo cute!
 There's always got to be some kind of problem when you travel. I hope you get it all fixed and sorted out soon. |

My little Island of Paradise in Utah...
It is all part of living on the road... thanks!
 My little Island of Paradise This inhabited stretch has become my little Island of Paradise these past few days and will be for a few more days to come... all is here and at the same time... nothing! Lots of vermillion was used in this past sunset... wish you would have all been here to experience it... The trout is a thing of the past... long gone now... you guessed it!... It was great... could taste its freshness with every bite. BMW of Las Vegas gave me some hundred dollar chips... their true value?... great service. The Blog will have it’s story! Be well...

A little ride in the neighborhood... Utah.
 Regardless... it is always a good day!... Thanks you all... A little ride in the neighborhood, Utah. I have the feeling that everyone wished to have a neighborhood like this one!... Right or left or north or south... great roads and scenery, hardly any traffic and there is a part of Utah that is not all red! A great dinner (at least they thought so...) for my friends Michael and Sandra, some playing time for Spirit and his buddies... it is all good... all in the Blog. In our conversations last night, we were wondering why get togethers are always where the crowd is!!! How about one right here... Be well... Ara & Spirit www.theoasisofmysoul.com our Blog... |

And all ends up well...
 And all end up well... School is never out just when we “might” think we are done... everyday new lessons are being provided, sometimes the teaching is kind, sometimes not. What started as, finally thinking of having one, a bad day, end up being a great one... solving obstacles... followed by a great ride... and a great night sleep as Spirit seems to be getting back on track.... It is just part of everyday life on the road... we are not exempt from anything that you yourselves go through. The logistics are sometimes harder, but I would not trade this lifestyle with any other one... I know that some will agree after reading today’s Blog... Be well...

A ride to Cedar Breaks and Kolob Canyons, Utah.
 A ride to Cedar Breaks and Kolob Canyons, Utah. So yes, I am a bit concerned about Spirit’s condition, it tears me up that he is still sick. Wish it was me instead... so hard to see and feel my helpless buddy! Time for a Doctor... We did do a ride yesterday, he was doing better then. As usual Utah provides some exciting sceneries and roads. Only wish the winds and the rains would stop soon... maybe tomorrow! More details on today’s Blog... You be well...

A healthier Spirit and a safer rig... +...
 A healthier Spirit and a safer rig, Utah... +... Unfortunately my Website had been down at times these past two days due to power outages in Vermont... I apologize for that. Was a bit surprised they do not have a generator... But it all just a matter of time... such as Spirit’s health. He received some good care yesterday and as usual acted like a gentleman only stunned by a crying baby lamb!!! The rig is much safer as you can see the work done on it... of the outmost quality! A great visit to the Dinosaur Discovery Center... hard to go back in time a couple millions of years! We are packing to head for California for a few days... with the hope that Spirit gets better by the day... if not, will back track. The outpour of concerns for Spirit has moved me more than anything else on this Journey, and realizing that so many great people are out there makes me want to get out and... mingle!!! Hope you enjoy today’s Blog... Be well... Ara and a healthier Spirit! www.theoasisofmysoul.com Our Blog... |

A road to Kernville, CA.
 One road to Kernville, CA. We are in Kernville, California, amongst many riders... friends from the past and making new ones. Cold... very cold, not handling it very well when it drops to the low 20's... Spirit is doing better everyday and probably wondering why “all those people” want to pet him!!! He did find a few pairs of legs to rub his back against and I am always thankful to anyone that is nice to him...Geode, Glenn... well, cannot blame him for bailing out, weather, distance... schedule... needless to say... “WHIMP”!!! There will be more in a day or two... have to get back to camp now, my friend Jkam just showed up!... surprise... You be well... enjoy... *** The picture above does not reflect my sentiments toward Spirit... just a sick sense of humor... Ara & Spirit www.theoasisofmysoul.com our Blog.... |

The road back to Utah...
 The road back to Utah... It was truly awesome to meet in person all the faces only labeled by a name for these past years... And at the same time, to be honest about it, my tolerance for sleeping in the freezing temps seems... well has!... diminished... As a couple of my new friends said... “it is age Ara!’. I will not deny it... The riders, sceneries, the roads, even the locals in Kernville made us feel so welcomed... we are on the way back to Utah to gather up the rest of my “stuff”, just to turn around and head back to another circle... the California Circle which comprises Death Valley Natl Park, Giant Sequoia Natl Monument, Sequoia Natl Park and Kings Canyon Natl Park... Give us a couple days and we will get there!... eventually... Till next time... you stay well. Ara & Spirit www.theoasisofmysoul.com our Blog... |

The Extraterrestrial Highway... NV.
OK... what was the twin cities?... excuse my ignorance!!! Chicago?
 The Extraterrestrial Highway, NV. We are back from Kernville and we are leaving for Kernville... Long story!!! It was a great, cold, and sometimes miserable ride back... but those bad moments are water under the bridge and all that remains are some great memories of the Extraterrestrial Highway... Did it flip my thoughts because of its name?... or the serenity of its vast quietness? Still thinking about it... And some pictures of it on the Blog... Enjoy and be well...
