Check out the Blog Archives to read about our cross country motorcycle road trip from MA to CA in the summer of 2011. During that trip we attended the Annual 2011 National Women On Wheels® Ride-In in San Jose CA. Then we just rode. We traveled over 11,000 motorcycle miles in what ever direction we wanted to go for 61 days. We visited friends and family, saw the country, met some amazing people. We made memories we'll never forget. These memories are what THIS BLOG is made of! That was only the beginning. We've been traveling and riding and blogging every since then. Enjoy our stories while we make MORE memories worthy of posting here for your enjoyment.

July 29 - Utah!

We were in no hurry to pack up until check out time.  Cooper and I laid around for as long as we could before we had to go.


The crack in Jesse's back tire
We went to have Jesse's tire replaced because it had developed a crack in it about 1,000 miles before.  We looked at the tire at every stop along the way to make sure it didn't change as we put on more and more miles.  We were happy to see it didn't change much at all. Cooper and I wondered the store for a while, then found a couch to sit on with Jesse while we waited.  We were comfortable and content with Cooper sitting between me and Jesse.  Cooper's favorite place to be.






We rode only for a few leisurely hours total, stopping for a late lunch. We talked to our waitress for a little while.  She had a lot of great stuff to tell about the area.  Cooper was very content to sit in his own chair next to me while we ate.  When we leave a restaurant, Cooper always gets a tid bit from our meal as a reward for being so good.  Today he got to try pastrami.  He did NOT like pastrami.  There are few things he doesn't like, and this was spit on the ground quickly after he tasted it.  I'm glad I saved some of my turkey from my sandwich too.  He was happy with that.



We reached Jesse's brother's house in Utah just before dinner time.  It was great to see them.  They have a 7 month old puppy named Shadow.  Shadow wasn't too happy about seeing another dog in his house, so he lunged at Cooper with a bit of an unsure way about him.  He didn't seem to know what to do.  For the rest of the day Shadow watched Cooper from the other side of a sliding glass door.  He got to smell Cooper by smelling places in the house where Cooper had been.  Shadow was so young and taken off guard by another dog, it was good to give him this space.

161 Miles
