Since Utah (my favorite place) has been mentioned, I thought I would post some old photos to whet your appetite... LAGBRAU - rode 7 days... in all that time think I saw 10 cars total. Utah is miles and miles and miles of beautiful wild countryside and no crowds... tailor made for cycling!

I think you are going to love love love your ride. I rode a big Oregon loop with Adventure Cycling a few years ago that I think covered a lot of your route. It was wonderful.
Have fun!

I've actually been through a lot of that territory on the HooDoo 500. Pity so much of it was in the dark!

In honor of this thread I took my camera along on today's great ride. I usually figure all the scenery will be the same, but I got some new angles on things today.

And here's the video of the day.
On my standard weekly ride, at the top of a big hill, I always stop to pet this dog:

Just wanna say, I'm enjoying this. Dog petting, views of Mt. Fuji, the Gorge ... all places I'm putting on my bucket list.

An outdoor one, yes. The fat bloated ones fell out of the fur straight to the ground, but two or three ranging from tiny to small, would be on my pants where the dog would lean against me for his petting. Of course the dog had a flea/tick collar, which tells you how much those are worth using...

I hate having to be careful of stuff like that anymore. Curses upon Lyme Disease and West Nile Virus, and the hateful parasites who spread them!
