Okay…I’m a computer geek. I tried to charge my laptop through my accessory plug on my motorcycle. Evidently it draws too much current so I blew the fuse on the plug.

Why though does BMW have me basically tear down my bike to get at the fuse? Madness I tell you “MADNESS”. After 90 minutes and a run down to the hardware store in Moab for a replacement fuse, the problem was solved.

I seriously am going to look into putting a small fuse box on my bike so I don’t have to deal with this again. “MADNESS I TELL YOU.” Not sure which movie that is from. I just like saying it. 🙂

I’m going to be sleeping through some wind and rain tonight in Moab, UT. (No biggie.) I got some great pictures of the Delicate Arch in Arches Natl. Park that I will share with you in the morning. I got to get back to camp.

I’m heading out of beautiful Zion Natl. Park today. I hope to be back. GO IF YOU CAN.

I’m on my way to Moab. I have a campsite reserved for Friday and Saturday. I met a rider that will be joining me for a few days. He decided Moab sounded to good to pass by before it got too cold. I am meeting up with him tonight in Capitol Reef National Park. Then we will share my campsite in Moab.

I won’t have cell coverage until Friday most likely.

The adventure continues…

Since I made the second toughest hike of Zion Park the day before on Angels Landing, I decided I might as well go for the toughest hike and take on Observation Point.

Observation Point is an 8 mile/5 hour hike that takes you even higher than Angels Landing. If fact you can see Angels Landing in the picture above, just across the way.

I was better prepared for this hike by carrying more water and a lunch to eat.

The hike was harder in some ways. It’s an hour longer and my body did notice it next morning. You do hike along sheer cliffs like Angels Landing, but there was no need for cables.

I did get rained on “just a bit” when I reached the top. It was still beautiful to see.

This hike had more to see as you hike up and down the trail.

I’m on my way to Moab, UT this weekend. I will have a riding buddy for a couple of days. He’s a rider I met in the campground here in Zion. He’s riding from Alaska and he is on a 7 month trip. (I could only dream.)

More later…
