My wonderful wife let me get a bike this summer, and it took a little while before I started riding it. But, I love it now and have been out exploring some of the trails near us. On Friday morning, I rode up Green Canyon, just a couple miles south of us. Now that we don’t live in Las Vegas, we have to get accustomed to what others experience on an annual basis – Autumn. It’s a rather interesting time of year that I had almost forgotten about.

Apparently, at this time of year, the leaves of trees turn beautiful colors and then fall to the ground – really quite amazing! From where I started, it’s a little over 2.5 miles of climbing on a mixture of singletrack, doubletrack, and gravel road. The ride down, particularly the singletrack sections are amazing. Several sections have bright colored trees flanking both sides of the trail as you wind down the trail. Awesome ride – looking forward to doing it again!

Since moving to Logan my Montero has been used maybe 10 times, maybe!!! So we finally decided to find her a new home. The Montero has been with me the past five years. She helped get me through my Masters program. She stuck out the blistering summers in Las Vegas.  She was there on our first date, when we fell in love, and when we got married. All in all, she’s been a good little car. 

The real trick comes as Adam and I learn to share something like a car, especially since the Tacoma is HIS. Actually, I think if there was one possession he could carry into the next life it would be his 2005 Toyota Tacoma. That’s saying a lot since we all now how much he loves computers and canyoneering. Hopefully, he would choose me if it came down to it, but I think it might really be a toss-up. I better make sure it’s me who flips the coin!!!

Anyhow, we found Montero a good home here in Logan where she will get to rome the streets much more often. A young Chinese doctoral candidate bought her so he has more room when his parents come to visit from China (for three months). Be good to her James….and she will be good to you. Goodbye Montero. I love you!!!
