Maine to Moab in seven minutes

(Attention! This post is nothing more than a sweet, sweet video and photo dump. You have been warned.)

I spent a week in Moab, Utah, riding motorcycles, at the end of April. I’ve already made one video about my experience and posted it on this blog.

Here’s a totally self-indulgent video followup on that report. It’s a full seven minutes long. It’s got all the moving picture highlights of the rides I went on and the sights I saw. To make it even more overblown, I’m going to post a bunch of barely-related pretty pictures below.

You can see all my vacation snaps, and lots of motorcycling adventure pictures, at my Flickr account.

I wave goodbye to Utah as the sun sets on the last day of my time in the desert.
