Why would I call it the eye candy tour you ask? Well we did go through Las Vegas or sin city if you will. But mainly we got to see some great scenery. We went from red rock to deep forest to red rock to the hot city to the desert and back to the Wasatch. BTW...my new name for Vegas is Fun Bag USA. Go ahead and think on that one... :naughty:
On to the story. The weather has been so beautiful that we wanted to chew up some pavement and my beemer had been talking to me a bit on the way to work. The ole girl was getting sick of the stop and go commute. She wanted to hit the open road and see some things, let the ole pipes really breath and clear her throat. So a friend and I from work decided to get out a map and highlight a path. We decided to head south and find some warmer temps with a stop in Vegas for a buffet n stuff. Sounds good ehhh...:five:
Oh yeah and I got in a race with some girls in a Mustang on the way to Vegas. I opened her up and hit 130. :eek2:
Our final route...it was 1300 miles in two days.

Our first gas stop was in Hanksville. This was after a 6AM start and going over spanish fork canyon in the dark. Man was that a bloody cold ride...:cold:

Just outside Hanksville and it was starting to warm up. The sun was out, the skies were blue and things were on the up and up.
