Trike Trip 2015

This years trip starts out different than our other trips, we leave in Jan's truck pulling the trailer with the trike inside.  This is my fault,(Jan would say) or my idea,(I would say)  I was tired of the scenery in the states we have to pass through to get to the landscapes that were not so common to us.   I was also tired of getting rained on in these same common states.  I mean once you get through east Texas it just doesn't rain as much as it does in the southeastern states.   That proved to be true because it flooded on us several times in Florida and Mississippi.  So here we go using a lot more gas than the trike uses but being a lot more comfy during the rain showers.
We left Live Oak on June 26th around 1:00pm. We drove late that night and started out early the next morning.  Our first destination was Trinidad, Co.  We were going to see the The Hooligans.  They were camping in the State park there while PJ pitched for the Trinidad Triggers.   It had been almost 3 weeks since we had seen them and I was missing them bad...  I will post pictures later since I can't figure out how to do it on the IPad.   We got to town and they came to our hotel and we hugged and caught up on the latest news on both sides.  January took us for a tour of Trinidad and told us all the history they had learned about.  Jonas and Ezzy sure looked good to us. (So did January and Patrick 😊)  Gosh, we do love our grands.   One night we roasted hot dogs with them at their campsite, after Patrick had to go back to Wal Mart to get the forgotten hotdogs. 😂😂. We stayed in Trinidad two nights and Jonas stayed with us both nights, sweet boy, slept so good.   We swam in the pool and lay around watching TV.

Left Trindad on Tuesday morning 6-30-15. The next destination was Moab Utah where we would meet up with Skip and Cheryl, our traveling buddies.   We got to Moab that afternoon and checked in at the Adventure Inn, where Skip had made reservations for us the next night.   We also dropped off the trailer at Sur-Nuf Storage where we store them while we are riding the trike on our adventure.  The next morning Jan and I ate at the Jailhouse Cafe, our favorite breakfast place in Moab.
We ate at The Branding Iron Restaurant that day and also the next day when Skip & Cheryl got there.  Oh on the night of the 1st we ate at The Sunset Grill.   We hung out at the hotel and left Moab on Thursday the 2nd and headed for Page, AZ.   The weather was cool that morning and we had to pull out the jackets.   It teased of rain showers all morning and we finally made it to Moki Dugway where we went down 10% grade of switchbacks.   To tell you the truth, it wasn't that bad.   Years before in our motor home we had to turn around there and drive miles out because we couldn't take the motor home down Moki Dugway... So we had been wanting to come back there and go down them, now we have done it !!!!!  Will add pictures......   To be continued.
