Day 1

So saturday finally came and we were super excited. We leave Philly fine and get to Dallas, and of course our flight gets canceled due to weather. We wait around the airport for over an hour for the shuttle to take us to a cheap hotel and finally we decide its never coming and get ripped off royally by a taxi cab. ($27 for 3 miles)

Yada yada yada....we make it to denver and our friend Kourtni picks us up and we head down to pick up the rental motorcycles. So on goes our 4 hour voyage down to Gunnison, Co. Here is where we come across our first mountain range.

We decided to grab some BBQ, ribs and brisket ...and it was a good decision.

We finally got there, suited up, and headed out. We had a lot of miles to cover because our plans were to make it to Mesa Verde by sundown. We chose to rent Suzuki Vstroms, because of their 19in front wheel, long legs on the highway and decent dual sport ability.

So we get on the road with hopes of getting as close as we can.
