Day 3 - 383miles/ 1015 total miles CIVILIZATION

Ok never in my life did I think I would be so excited to see mini vans and strip malls. , Maggie - I have a whole new respect for you and that mom van, never will I give you a hard time for driving a mini van again. I may not be a big urban girl but I sure do appreciate civilization!!! What a relief to get off that hi way 50 and be near civilization again. That hi way 50 was definitely the loneliest hi way and I am glad to off of it!!

And what a ride we had today!! Yea, it has been said before...but WOWOWOW....the Mountains are gorgeous!!! Every turn and every bend we went around there was a view that was more gorgeous than the last view. When we stopped for lunch Bif and Sheri were so excited not to have to eat at McDonalds AGAIN....this time they had choices.....Arbys or Subway....yes were excited to have those choice...bless civilization!!

It was most definitely a surreal experience going through the Mountains and listening to Lord of The Flies. Right as the book was ending Bif and Sheri came off the interstate and at the stop sign Bif rode up; near Sheri and almost started crying because Piggy was killed!! Sheri thought Bif was referring to a pig...a hog...a motorcycle and couldn't understand why Bif was so upset. When Bif explained she was in mooring for a character in the book, Sheri just rolled her eyes!!

At one point, we stopped at an overlook for a better view. Well, it was not only a great view...Sheri used her Kolb powers to make new best friends with an entire bus load of seniors!!! A couple of the ladies sat on Sheri's bike and took pictures and were laughing hysterically. One lady was chatting up Bif and thought she was only 25 years old! LOL....Then Bif had to tell the lady she was only three years away from AARP membership and they all had a good a laugh over that. Bif was touched because she knows riding keeps her young...and it shows!!

When the girls pulled into the Harley Dealership in Glenwood Springs - our stop for the evening - we decided that dealership had the coolest view of any dealership. The big picture windows looked out over the Colorado River and right at the mountains!!!! Breath taking!!!

We keep meeting the nicest people all along the way. It is especially cool to meet all the women riders. At breakfast we met four ladies from California and Oregon who we so nice. We ran into them a couple more times during the day. And when we got into Glenwood Springs Co and were at the Harley Dealership we met a couple more ladies from Santa Barbra. And in the evening at the hotel Sheri buddied up (like she always does) we a couple of guys from West Virgina who just happen to be FBI agents!!!! The women we are meeting a great - so hot that Sheri and Bif are considering changing our lifestyles and becoming polygamists.

Terbear is doing great - the bear is a real trooper and loving being along from the ride!! She did take a bit of a rest under some bushes!!

Sorry about the layout of the daily pictures we will fix them latter. Don't forget to check out the new video - it is a bit long but worth watching to the end!

A note to Teri's mom....would the two of you stop watching Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune and let Teri call Sheri while on the ride...Geeesss priorities!!!!

And please everyone send positive thoughts to Bifs dad who was back in hospital yesterday. He is okay but looks like he will get a defibulator and pacemaker.
