Our Trip to Torrey










The day dawned bright and sunny. It was going to be a nice 65 mile run from Escalante to Torrey.


About 35 miles into the ride things started to go south. It started to rain and the temp began to drop. My sag lady came to my rescue. For you people who don't ride, sag is an acronym for rider support. With it beginning to snow I did the only thing a tough guy would do. I jumped in the truck.



The rest of the ride to Torrey was uneventful with the temp dropping to 31 degrees with snow and fog.




In all the blogs you have read the sag lady has barely been mentioned, but without her this trip would be impossible. She has a great time all day pulling a 25 ft camper around on bumpy crooked roads. She cooks and cleans, does the laundry, shoots most of the pictures, and posts most of the blogs. In her spare time she does the shopping. She even has to occasionally rescue me from the elements.
Oh, and if you want to play where's Colby.....just zoom the picture of the road through the sandstone. Have fun!








Thanks sag lady.

  1. Doesn't the sag lady hunt and shoot game to prepare for your evening meal? We zoomed and found you on the road; Elaine was glad you had the sag lady with you because it looked awfully lonely on the road! I am enjoying keeping up with your ride. It seems like it is a long way between McDonalds out there. Hang in there. Enjoy yourselves; it's a once-in-a-life-time experience.

  2. It's always the woman behind the scenes that make the impossible happen...you go, Jean!!
    I'm still awestruck with each new picture you post and amazed by your adventures. Thanks for sharing.
    Put me in for the drawing, I zoomed in and found you on the road behind the trees, too!

  3. Since she is getting so good at this SAG stuff, maybe she could follow us around on our long weekend rides when you get back, that would be a piece of cake.
