Today we rode the White Rim Trail, about 135 miles of fun.
Two of the three KLRs decided that they had enough fun for the time being
and laid down for a brief nap. One sleepyhead KLR took 5 or 6 dirt naps,
most in sand washes with axle deep fine sand in the optimal line and
knee-deep sand in the suboptimal lines traveled. That rider has declared
tomorrow R&R and Laundry Day. Perhaps the OEM hand guard will also be
mended.
Mark Ward joined us from Michigan. Mark took out a Jersey Barrier-sized
tumbleweed that clenched the bike so firmly that it took two of us to
wrestle the bike out. But Mark emerged with even his sense of humor intact.
The 3rd KLR made it through the entire day without a nap as did the lighter
DRZ. The DRZ rode sweep and was so dust covered that it looked like it had
not only gone down but decided to roll around in the sand for camouflage.

Tomorrow three of us plan to ride a loop into the La Sal Mountains.

I don't miss the sand there (heh). Your description has convinced me I need a lighter bike for sand naps. If you ride up into the La Sals try and make it over to Gateway Col for a nice ride and car museum.

Check out this news article from our local paper.
One of the photos is of a torched Prius.
I'm amazed it didn't go BOOM once the battery got hot.
