I guess closemindedness is a side effect. Well, that was certainly true of the kids in the grade school I attended in Milwaukee, but I don't judge the rest of the city on it.

Well, I'm originally from Utah and in fact just did a tour of that area early this last September, so I'll try to name some places I really enjoy visiting (don't tell anybody I flew to Albq. and rented a car to do it.) 4-corners monument isn't particularly spectaculer, but definitly a unique location on the planet. Its nearby that things become spectacular. I'm just going to name off a bunch of places going clockwise around the corners from Farmington N.M. Chaco Canyon: ancient Anazasi ruins/Monument Valley, AZ/Mexican Hat and Twin Rocks/San Juan Goosenecks, spectacular canyon and river views/Valley of the Gods: incredible views and would be great for dualsporting, look for small pieces of my rental car's undercarriage here/Moki Dugway: one of the most fascinating and awe inspiring roads you will ever drive. It seems to disappear into the redrocks looking at it, but it actually switchbacks very steeply. Unparalled views of Monument Valley and Valley of the Gods/Natural Bridges Monument/Canyonlands, Needles to go into the canyons, Island in the sky to look from above/Moab: plenty of info from the KLR rallies to fill you in on this area (I originally went to riverraft and mtn. bike)/heading into CO from Monticello, Cortez is nice, then Mesa Verde Nat'l Park (spectacular Anazasi ruins on a huge plateau, there was a thriving indian culture of 5000 people in the 12th century here, indians from all over the 4-corners came to trade with them, you just have to dodge the RV's to visit/Durango was interesting in a sort of well-off, young, just finished college now I will work for retail in the mountains while driving the new car my parents bought me, sort of way (sorry about that)/from here it is just a hop and a skip to do the Alpine loop, one of the best dualsport areas around/Wild Rivers N.M. is beautiful with spectaculor views of the Rio Grande cutting into the earth. All of N.M. is fantastic. Somewhat of a run-on paragraph there, all these places can easily be found in guidebooks. Some good ones are Moon publications and Lonely Planet prints an excellent "Southwest" book (no Colorado though). My favorite is to get BLM info and leave the beaten track, this area is unlimited in this respect. Falcon Press has a most excellent book called "Back Country Byways" with Type l, ll, lll and Vl roads described in all of these states and more. Have a good time! Charles (back in Santa Cruz dreaming about the Southwest) >> Thanks Charles and ALL others who responded, that is exactly the kind of info/suggestions I was looking for. Now I can get out my maps and call AAA and start actual route planning! Cant wait!

Heeey! Now c'mon, Jean, that wasn't very nice! So what if I have nine fingers and eleven toes, does that REALLY have to figure into this conversation? I'm dying to find out who it was that spilled the beans! I think you missed the point I was trying to make. You can say whatever you want, in whatever language you want.... You're in the U.S., my friend! It may not always be welcomed, but that doesn't matter, because the right is yours. My old man (along with a few thousand other "uncouth" Yanks) hit Omaha Beach to ensure us (and you) that right. You know, Omaha Beach? Normandy? You guys are familiar with those names, aren't you? I ask because my own experiences in France have left me wondering. A source of great irony to me as I see the selective concern some of your countrymen show when it comes to France's "cultural purity" (why don't the Parisians ever protest in front of the Chinese restaurants? Why is it only McDonald's?). What the hell is their beef (pun intended)? Penis envy, perhaps... Call me crazy, but I think a little gratitude (or maybe just some courtesy and tolerance) might be in order... Not that it matters, really... We're all here in the comfortable embrace of our "dopey," "shallow," and "hedonistic" American society, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to the local Greek restaurant for a little cultural pollution...

If you fall the lever will rotate around and has a better chance of surviving the fall. I remember this trick from DIRT BIKE magazine I think.
