Following Mike to Area 51. But first! A stop at the Little A'Le'Inn
for their fabulous bar. First time I've set foot in a "proper" bar for
more than 40 days! Whaaat!
This is the first hand account of two fellows, Joshua Hansmeier and Luke Christian, who are seeing the United States from a rare vantage point; off the beaten path and via motorcycles.
For those of you just tuning in, the TAT stands for Trans America Trail, a 5000 mile dirt route across the United States. From Tennessee, we'll follow the trail all the way to the Pacific Ocean along the Oregon Coast. Follow us here as we document our adventure over the next six weeks.

Zion National Park is awesome
Spent the past two days at Zion doing it up right, and it was amazing. Luke and Mike did the Angels Landing hike yesterday while I went up river to the slot canyons known as the narrows. More pics to come...

Peek A Boo Slot Canyon!!
I've wanted it hike this since I lived here in 2004/5. It was so fun
at absolutely beautiful! Parting from the trail to see these sights
was such a good idea and hanging with ole Mikey has proven to be a
great choice as well.

After all these years
Finally getting to see southern Utah. And doing it right! Here are two
pictures from Arches National Park.

Slot Canyons in Utargh* (Brit for Utah)
We camped last night south of Escalante, Utah with the hopes of waking up and being a short ride from some slot canyons we heard about while in Moab. The campsite was awesome. Built a nice big fire that burned way too long. The short morning ride turned into getting lost and riding aprox 100 or so unneeded miles, but eventually we found the trailhead to Picaboo and Spooky canyon. Amazingly beautiful. I've got some photos but mostly video that we will upload later, and Lukes gonna upload some of his pics shortly too. Oh, on a side note, we crossed paths with a rattlesnake today. Video of that coming too, hopefully soon if we can quit adventuring for long enough to properly document it.
In the morning we plan to head to Bryce Canyon NP. We are currently tucked away at a campsite with a roaring fire and somehow enough Internet to share this much.

Desert Oasis
This was amazing. A bit of a hike to a place called upper calf creek falls in Utah. We were unable to determine the depth, but it was plenty deep for some jumping and diving!

Cooling down outside Arches NP
The three of us decided to cool down after a day hiking and riding in Arches NP. It was an eventful day, which included Josh getting hit by a car in the visitor center parking lot. Fortunately his legs were still fresh enough to pull some amazing stunts at the swimming hole...
