That Mother Is A Goose...

Folks,

(to be continued)

Of course it was Canadian Geese or the Canada Goose that I was referring to ... mais oui ...

It turns out though that they are all currently under contract to Al Qaeda to disrupt US domestic air flights - so there was no help to be had there.

Unfortunately there is only one solution and that is to leave and that is what I will be doing tomorrow AM - they win - for the time being!!  I'll be heading to Michigan before ending the trip back home.

It's been a great experience out here and I hope to return to Yosemite and the Sierras and Moab in the fall - also try to squeeze in America's first National Park - Yellowstone.

Also Moab is definitely a dirt bike/mountain bike kind of spot so I think we'll be biking it in the fall.  A unique spot - a little bit of California attitude in Utah - who knew.  Now I know why the Mormon fundamentalists turn their nose up at this place - people here are just enjoying life rather than being afraid that someone, somewhere might be enjoying it!!

Speaking of fun and feel good places - Moab is certainly one but so is The Moab Brewery - just a great watering hole and gathering place for locals and itinerants alike.  It is big on my list of great establishments and I hope they continue to do well.  I am going to have to grab a T shirt and beer glass.

Actually I just returned from the Brewery and I could not find a color I liked in my size - oh well, in the fall.  There were three guys in there - they work construction and they obviously had been in there for a while because they were loud.  Every word they used started with 'F' - one of them started talking about a new secretary and said, 'for  woman, she's pretty smart' ... I think you get the idea - first time I have run across that out here on the trip - they were out of their element without realizing it.

I have included a photo of the condo I have been staying in and a sign I have been observing since I arrived in town.  Time to move - watch for just a bit more madness from the road.

To quote from verse 5 of the Krome Koan, 'I get enough exercise just pushing my luck.'
