Only in the USA could someone write an advertisement in 30 foot letters on the side of a mountain!
Anyone thinking of driving / riding Highway 50, I have a great detour. Go south to Moab then hang a left up into farming country, then drop down through a canyon into the perfect cliff lined valley. Then follow a lovely river back to 50. Not really going to tell anyone. The good folks down that way don't want a bunch of Harley riders spoiling their peace and quiet!
Followed Highway 50 then to Gunnison past miles of beautiful lakeside. Decided to press on for another few miles. What a few miles they were. I asked the miserable bag in the gas station how long it would take to get to Salina. "about an hour" she said and walked off.
What she could have added but didn't was "Its just over 60 miles and you'll have to cross the continental divide at Monarch pass. It will be cold at 11,312 feet so you might be better going tomorrow rather than this evening". Oops, silly me. Monarch is more than 30 miles away! She wouldn't know those things ;-)
