Riding with Grampa Ken

With all the nice weather, it was time to get Ken out for a good ride. He had told me earlier that he wanted to wait until the temperature was in the 80's before he could ride. Well, Friday it was a cool 85 in the Little Moab area. We parked at Dibbles Roost (on the west side of Little Moab) and I showed Ken where Dibble, Adams and others usually camped. I couldn't believe it was still so green.

We headed south towards Eureka and went over to where several of us had camped for Labor Day last year. The place looked very different with all the grass. It was tall and thick. I even took time to hide a geocache there. The flowers were in full bloom all the different colors, red, yellow, white, blue, orange, etc. I should have taken a lot of pics but was enjoying the day so much, I forgot.

 I next took Ken over to Broad Canyon on the north and into 12-mile pass where I checked on a few caches and we had lunch. After that, we headed south up Broad Canyon Road all the way to the top and looked into the Black Rock area. From the top we could see Boulter Peak to the south and Bismark Peak to the east. I only wish the day was a little more crisp. It was kind of murky even though there were not very many clouds. Of course, Lewiston Peak looked cool with the snow cap still on the top. All in all, it was great to get Ken out and enjoy his company. We need to do it again.
