Boys & Their Toys :)

DJ and Ben have waited for this past weekend to arrive for the last few months. It was worth the wait :)

 Friday morning they loaded up their motorcycles and headed down the road for a 3 day road trip with a group of 17 like minded folks. 690 mile round trip. Sore behinds anyone? 

 DJ's best friend, Doug, coordinated the ride. His son, Jordon, also went.

Golden Spike parking lot ~ waiting for a couple guys to catch up.

Taking a break at Spiral Jetty

Doug's clutch cable broke and so this was a temporary solution.

DJ walked up Elephant Rock to take this picture.

Another break ~ that's Ben in the black shirt. So proud of the young man he's becoming!

Doug and Jordan are to the right.

They had a great weekend. It was Ben's first road trip with his bike. I'm so glad he and DJ have this common passion for riding. I'm thinking there will be many more trips in the months and years to come :)
