Talons Tips and Tales from the seat of my motorcycle

Riding and Thinking...

Excellent breakfast at Mom's Cafe in Salina UT this morning.  Willie Nelson had a "great steak dinner" there in 2004.  Sat in the same booth where he enjoyed his steak.  Felt his good energy.  Think I need to start everyday like this.

Highway 50 due west across Utah toward Nevada. Think I have never seen a straighter road for 98 miles.

Think it is a good idea to stop at a gas station when you see one.  You never know how far down the road the next one might be.

Shoe tree  Delta, UT.  Think this is a creative use of old shoes and a dead tree.

Think I am in the Great Basin now.

Think these thunderstorms may get me wet.

Think...this is some of the most stunning light and landscape I have ever ridden into and  across.  And to think...it all started today sitting in a booth in a small cafe where Willie enjoyed a meal as much as I did.  Think it has been a really good day.

Ely, NV tonight.  Room at the historic Nevada Hotel.
