We are waiting at Time Station 15 for Christopher to arrive any minute. We are about to hit a climb to 11,000ft - and the continental divide.

Yesterday I cruised through Monument Valley AZ/UT (think Close Encounters or the side of U-Haul trucks) on my TT bike at over 40k/hr av. - it was amazing coming out of the desert into a green valley stretching as far as one could see with these amazing rock formations jutting straight up out of the flat grasslands.
