Today's ride started out uneventful, but took a turn! Just before we crossed into Utah, from Nevada, we met a fellow rider with a flat tire. We helped him plug the tire, but it still had a small leak. Our plan was to ride together to Delta, UT to see if we could find someone, who could fix him up. We stopped several times, to check the air pressure, and all seemed to be working according to plan. Between 45, and 50 miles from Delta, the tire, totally blew! We loaded his luggage onto Decah's bike, and he rode her bike to Delta, as Decah rode with me. We found a bike shop in Delta, so he was able to make arrangements to have his bike picked up, and a new tire installed, tomorrow. By the time all of this was done, we lost 2 hours. Anyway, we made it to Green River, Ut, for the night, only 100 miles short of our destination. Not really a problem, because we've been in his position, before. Us bikers, have to look out for one another!The above photo is the Confussion Mountain Range, in the background.

This entire area was beutiful, with one canyon, after another!

Yet another from the canyon. This is Table Rock, in the fore-ground.
Our day was very interesting, and full of more spectacular scenery!

That is great that you were there to help that poor man out of a jam. Who know how long he might have waited if you hadn't stopped to help out. It looks like you had some amazing scenery along the way. Love the canyon pictures. Thanks for sharing the pictures and the story.
