FEATURE I RC'S SUMMER ADVENTURE 2023 P110 other sides were straight down. While we were there, Paggio decided to roost me with the moondust–a talking point for the rest of the trip, as he still denies doing it on purpose (ha-ha). He says it wasn't on purpose, I say it was. This led to some all-time comedy being shared over the Cardos! We have video proof; everyone can draw their own conclusions. I will share the evidence! After Swing Arm City, we headed toward Escalante via Highway 12. While on our way, we would head over a couple of mountain passes through Capi - tol Reef and Grand Staircase Na- tional Parks. We arrived safely at the Slot Canyons Inn Bed and Breakfast, where we had stayed before on a previous trip in 2019 on our way to Sturgis. We had a great night there with an awe - some dinner at their brand-new restaurant, The North Creek Grill, right on the property. Wonderful hospitality, food, wine, and then an impromptu private acoustic gig by Chad and Ray, fueled by red wine. What a great night! DAY 4: 262 MILES 6 hr., 13 min.

"Pagg" dropped his bike turning around, and then we immedi - ately went to get some shots of me riding in a creek bed with a waterfall in the background. Once we were done, we headed to Bryce Canyon. I had been there before, in 2019, but it was just more or less a pass through. This time, Simon, JH, Ray, and I would ride into the park to an unreal spot overlooking part of the canyon while Chad and Pag met up with one of his buddies outside of the park. Massive and beautiful best describe Bryce National Park and you can tell from Simon's pictures. We got to test the Bivy group tracking feature, which worked great, helping us link back up with Chad and Paggio, finding ourselves on a cool dirt (Top) Carmichael's ride of choice, Triumph's 1200 Rally Pro and Rally Pro Explorers.
