This is Sharon Stark who was kind enough to cart our sorry arsses down to Interbike in Lost Wages.

Had to grab some grub at the Hogi Yogi in Springville. I of course got my official Chicken Bowl with
white meat only ... and a large Pepsi..

Meet Phillip Davis, the conesiour of our group who is no doubt getting some form of a yogurt with berries
and nuts and tofu and whatever other kind of ICKY stuff they provide rather than the most excellent marshmallow
creme and the like..

Sharon's Rodeo that she just bought on not only its first road trip, but its first 4x4 experience.
We rolled into camp off exit 36 on I-15 right around midnight and prepped for the night. The stars were
shining and it was absolutly beautiful!

Phill and Nate set up camp on the near level ground just behind the Rodeo..
|

We managed to get the Rodeo pretty level despite the uneven terrain.

During the night it began as an occasional pitterpat. As the night progressed it turned into a torrential
downpour. Sharon and I huddled in the Rodeo while Nate and Phill braved the rain. The Rodeo was equipped
with Michellin tires that were hardly suited for the muck and mud. When we finally got all the soaked
gear loaded into the truck, it made for a pretty slippery escape from our camp spot.

Nate, Phill and Me all headed down through a narrow Crack near St. George, Utah. I am very clausterphobic
so this is always very exciting for me. Seeing as how Phill had recently returned from hiking Crestone
Needle in Colorado, I was sure this was not much of an adventure for him.

Eventually we convinced Sharon to join us and we took this shot right at the very opening.

Here is a shot where we had to leave Phill. Being the most buffed of our group has its disadvantages
at times. Where Nate and I were able to run down this chute, Phill's pecks were entirely too large to
facilitate safe passage. He was wedged in at one point so tightly that he couldn't breathe! Nate had
to grab his arm and pull him through. But we did manage to make it to the otherside and we actually
didn't have to leave Phill.

The crew having a little breakfast at Frontier Pies. We drove down to Vegas and checked into our fabulously
disgusting dive at the Travelodge near the strip. Phill and Nate went to the On Dirt Demo. I worked
on the computer and took a little nap. We had pizza at a place called Woodchip Pizza or something like
that on the opposite side of the strip. It was good but it wasn't all that we had hoped. Our waiter
was a complete moron!\
