Here I am in Denver, spending a few days with Di and Jack, it is nice to be around people you know and be able to relax and have nice food. They are great people. I went out in Vegas, but unfortunately did’nt win any money, just interesting to see, but not my kind of place. Moved on to the north rim of the Grand Canyon, it is impressive, not as beautiful as copper, but  much bigger and deeper, awesome. I camped there and met really nice people in the camp site. Then moved on to Moab, a town that is an adventure and outdoor centre, felt kind of guilty not doing any active stuff. On the way there I went through the Navaho and Apache reservations, they live side by side in a dust bowl in the Arizona desert, kind of sad really. From Moab I went toAspen, but the snow on the ski slopes had melted, the whole area has ski slopes and looks like real fun. But it was not to be. I had to buy all sorts of spares for the bike and give it some TLC,  as it has now done 28000 k’s and a few more to go to Alaska. W hen I pulled into the BMW dealer, a lady came over and we started chatting, then she said to me, you have a SA accent, I said yes and so do you. She and her hubby own the business so we had a long chat and she helped me out with the spares I needed. This place is not cheap, so my ass is still sore. The bike is a lot happier now . I will leave for Yellowstone tomorrow, should be good, then head west then northto Canada and the top of Alaska, can’t wait to see the bears, black, grizzlies and polar, hopefully! more later.
