Having gotten back from my two week trek to Canada and back, and ridding 5,470 miles on some of the best roads in North America, I have to say I was most impressed with Southern Utah. In particular Hwy 12! What an amazing road! From Capital Reef State Park to Bryce Cyn. If your in the area dont miss it, Its amazing!

The "Utah Scenic Byway" is as good as it gets. I was lucky to both ride and drive it in the last year.

Wanted to do a GTG there, and am looking at retiring in the area for that exact reason.

I've also driven and ridden this area in the past year. Colorado and Utah are simply spectacular. As good as it gets. It's an area I've absolutely fallen in love with... Almost mesmerizing views. If I ever hit the big lottery

, it'll be Carmel/Monterey CA area in the winter and Southern Utah/Colorado area in the summer!

GORGEOUS!

I'm always recommending this area for people to visit. Thanks for sharing.

A Swage Block (SwedgeBlock) is a multi-purpose tool used similar to an anvil by blacksmiths, metal sculptors, armourers and other metalworkers. Swage blocks are generally thick square or rectangular blocks of cast iron, ductile iron or steel. They have also been made of wood and bronze. They may weigh from as little as 10 pounds (4.5kg) up to hundreds of pounds (~230kg max). Their surfaces have impressions of various shapes for the craftsperson to work hot or cold metal on or into. Most swage blocks have a variety of holes that pass through the thin direction. These holes are used for bending, forging heads and punching holes.

Pretty awesome!

The rugged, rocky terrain out there is awesomely beautiful. Looking at some of those pictures - you can see how hundreds of millions of years of tectonic movements created all of those layers under the sea, then pushed them up into mountains, and then how the wind and rain eroded them into the breathtaking structures they are today for us to look at in wonder.

It's amazing to see how this planet has evolved... it's all laid bare out there.

Thanks for posting!
