LET YOU LOOK AT OUR TRAVEL ADVENTURE.
STEVEN HEUMANN Thanks Ria/Chad. I'm here at Steadman's
Recreation in Tooele looking at motorcycles, which is appropriate
because today I'm taking you for a ride on one of the most amazing road
trips in the world. For a lot of us traveling is all about the destination.
What happens from point A to point B isn't so much of a concern so long
as we make good time. For motorcycle riders that is a different story. For
them the journey itself is the most important part.
(Music Up)
STEVEN HEUMANN There are a lot of famous motorcycle trips in the
US, like the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, or the Pacific Coast
Highway in California. Each offers something unique and memorable that
can't be found anywhere else. Among those legendary opportunities is
Utah Highway 12; a route unlike anything else on earth.
RUSS STEADMAN Quote about Highway 12. where it is, what it's like,
etc.
STEVEN HEUMANN highway 12 was added to the Utah road system in
1914. At that time it only went from the Bryce Canyon junction to Tropic
Reservoir. today it is 122 miles long and takes travelers through eons of
history. The road has been officially dubbed the 'Journey through time
scenic byway,' and rightfully so as it decends into red canyons, and
winds along petrified sand dunes from ages past when the west was a
desert the size of the Sahara.
RUSS STEADMAN Quote about Boulder mountain and the petrified
sand dunes.
STEVEN HEUMANNFor Russ Steadman of Steadmans Recreation,
motorcycles are in his blood. As the third generation here at the shop,
Russ has ridden his entire life, and knows the thrill that comes with
climbing on a metal steed and exploring the asphault frontier.
RUSS STEADMAN Quote about why riding is cool.
STEVEN HEUMANN Part of the joy of motorcycles comes from the
comeraderie with other riders. While they seem very solitary at times,
bikers are all about the communion of the ride, sitting and talking
afterward, sharing thoughts. Places like Highway 12 are amazing, and
riders are inspired by the vistas and colors, but what is almost more
special than the experience itself is the chance to talk about it with your
fellow travelers; gaining their perspective and adding it to your own.
STEVEN HEUMANN Since that communion is so important, Steadmans
has put on an annual fall ride for the last four years to give bikers one
final chance to enjoy their sport with a group of like-minded explorers
before winter sets in and takes away their fun.
RUSS STEADMAN Details about the ride etc.
STEVEN HEUMANN Red, White and Road will set out of Torry Utah at
the junction of Highways 12 and 24 the morning of September 14th. The
route will hit all the hsitory and beauty offered on the route, including a
return drive along Otter Creek and Highway 22.
STEVEN HEUMANN When we hit the road for a vacation we think about
what we will experience when we arrive at our final destination. That's
normal of course, but when the trip itself IS the destination, that's when
you'll find an understanding of the road and the environments it traverses
that goes beyond just a blur at your perifery. The world fully takes shape,
and you see things you never knew you were missing. Such is life on a
motorcycle.
RUSS STEADMAN Motorcycles are awesome.
STEVEN HEUMANN If you would like to join Steadmans and AYL for

CHAD BOOTH: It's called the Sidewinder, and it is brand-new to this
market, and it is brand-new to Ray Citte RV. Hi everyone I'm Chad Booth.
Now this is the 3214 Sidewinder, the company that builds it is
called KZ, they've got a great reputation. They built a quality machine.
And it's got some fun features that you are going to like, let's check them out.
(Funky Beach Music Up)
CHAD BOOTH: You will find a lot of storage, they have done a lot on this
particular model with battery management. So they have a complete
electrical management system. And take a look at this! Your leveling
jacks are on a control unit that is right out here where you can watch
them. And it has an auto function where you can just press the button
and the whole thing levels itself. Really cool. They don't spring when
it comes to providing you with power options for your house. You will
not fall short of power with this. The storage bay comes through the other
side. It also has what you would expect, a water management center with
an outdoor shower. When I really like about these, is there is a bypass
valve for your hot water and the winterize valve for when you winterize
your system.
CHAD BOOTH: Ready to see the inside?
CHAD BOOTH: Okay, are you ready? Romeo, O, Romeo! Where so for art thou
Romeo? Take a look at this! The ramp actually converts into a deck,
you can put chairs out, you can put a barbecue out here. Can keep access
with the outside because as a pull down screen. So we're pretty close to
being in storage mode, or hauling mod. Now let's take a look at what this
looks like all laid out. You drop the couch down, but you need more space.
Well, here is how you get your sleeping space. One, two, three, four and five.
(Bed Lowering Music Up)
CHAD BOOTH: So now you have beds here and, stay with me, beds here!
So KZ actually puts really nice gear inside of their kitchenettes.
So you got a microwave combination up here, a three burner propane stove,
a full oven, a super big, industrial grade sink, and of course a
full-size Norcold RV refrigerator. Let's go on up to the master chamber.
CHAD BOOTH: Up in the nose where the master suite is, you'll find a
large bathroom. In the bathroom you will find: the shower with a glass
sliding door, and the linen closet right here in the bathroom.
Really nice. In the master bedroom you'll see that dark walnuts of come
back in, is very man cave like, so I really like it. You've got
great wardrobe space, this is a hanging locker here. And you've
got a shelf unit here. Of course, my favorite part of any trip,
is that at the very end, when you call it a day, and you lay your
head down to rest, with a nice big, padded leather, man cave,
headboard. This is a wonderful rig. KZ is the manufacturer,
3214 is the model, the place to see it is Ray Citte RV.
See you next time. You gotta go now, I'm going to sleep.

ADVENTURE
REECE STEIN: I'm Reece Stein, At Your Leisure, in the Grand Canyon,
not the Grand Canyon you're thinking of, this one is further east
and while it's not as big as your Grand Canyon, it has a spectacular
beauty all its own.
REECE STEIN: BORN DURING THE LAST ICE AGE, AUSABLE CHASM IN THE
NORTHEAST CORNER OF NEW YORK STATE IS NICKNAMED THE GRAND CANYON
OF THE ADIRONDACKS. POURING OVER 90 FOOT HIGH RAINBOW FALLS,
THE AUSABLE RIVER CUTS INTO FAULTLINES IN THE 500 MILLION YEARS
OLD SANDSTONE BASE CREATING THIS UNIQUE TO MILE-LONG GORGE.
BEEN STEIN: It's surprising for the area, sandstone formation really
unusual so you get some cuts in the rock you don't see in new England
or North country area.
REECE STEIN: AUSABLE CHASM HAS BEEN A POPULAR TOURIST DESTINATION FOR
146 YEARS ONE OF THE OLDEST NATURAL ATTRACTIONS IN THE COUNTRY.
TIM BRESETT IS THE GENERAL MANAGER OF AUSABLE CHASM.
TIM BRESETT: the neatest thing about Ausable chasm is the rock formations
for sure. Explore place on foot. See all the rock places elephants had,
Devils oven, Mystic gorge, and all those types of things. Your mind
wanders as you start staring at all these rocks and you let go and
enjoying mother nature and what she has carved out for us.
That's definitely the neatest thing.
REECE STEIN: THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO ENJOY AUSABLE CHASM. WE CHOSE
THE POPULAR CLASSIC TO ORDER WHICH BEGINS WITH AN EASY WALK ON SEVERAL
TRAILS FOREST TYPE OF THE GORGE. THE INNER SANCTUM TRAIL IS CARVED
RIGHT INTO THE CLIFF FACE WITH THE RIVER 150 FEET BELOW. STEEL BRIDGES
WITH HIGH HANDRAILS AND SECURITY FENCES TAKE US ACROSS DEEP SIDE CANYONS
PROVIDING A SPECTACULAR VIEW OF THE CHASM WALLS. FOR FAMILIES WITH SLIGHTLY
OLDER AND PHYSICALLY FIT MEMBERS THERE'S THE ADVENTURE TRAIL OUR GRANDKIDS
ARE FEW YEARS AWAY FROM THIS VIA FERRATTA. FOR US, THE CLASSIC TOUR IS PERFECT.
GETTING THE KIDS INTO THE OUTDOORS AND AWAY FROM THE VIDEO SCREEN IS
CRITICAL TO A WELL-ROUNDED CHILDHOOD. ALTHOUGH MY OBSERVING GRANDDAUGHTER
PENNY IS NEVER TOO FAR REMOVED FROM ONE OF HER FAVORITE VIDEO GAMES EVEN OUT HERE.
PENNY STEIN: The sandstone formation is really interesting and also some
of them looked like they were from Mincraft. You could actually build
these landscapes in Minecraft. I'm pretty sure you could seriously do that.
REECE STEIN: A CHILD'S UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE THE CHILDPROOF BARRIERS MAKE
THE CLASSIC ROUTE FAMILY-FRIENDLY.
BEN STEIN: This is really wonderful for the kids. We have an eight-year-old
and a two-year-old and they were able to do the whole hike and enjoy
rafting at the bottom of the chasm.
REECE STEIN: THAT'S RIGHT, AFTER THE MILE OR SO LONG HIKE, THE TRAILS
DROP DOWN TO THE RIVER'S EDGE AND WE BOARDED A RUBBER BOAT FOR THE
SECOND LEG OF OUR JOURNEY. A QUALIFIED BOAT MAN GUIDES HIS RAFT THROUGH
THE NARROWEST PART OF THE CHASM. IF YOU HAVE RUN REAL WHITEWATER,
THIS IS MORE RELAXING THAN THRILLING UNLESS YOU ARE 89-YEAR-OLD
EXPERIENCING RAPIDS FOR THE FIRST TIME
PENNY STEIN: Well, the rapids were sooooo fun! They were just going
speedy Just going through the River just felt like I don't know,
it's an unexplainable feeling just bouncing around, then these
*splash noises* are especially fun. Being in the front seat was
the best part you got to see so much scenery.
REECE STEIN: TWO-YEAR-OLD JULIAN DIDN'T MIND TAKING
A BACKSEAT TO HIS BIG SISTER.
JULIAN STEIN: I got to go on the raft!
DAD: Was the raft bumpy?
JULIAN STEIN: Yeah!
REECE STEIN: Did you fall in the water?
JULIAN STEIN: No!
TIM BRESETT: Most folks who come here want activities.
So rafting, tubing the lower part of the chasm which is
much more placid. Then there are the adventure programs,
just one of the few via ferattas in the country.
REECE STEIN: THE VIA FERATTA, FOR I IN ROAD, IS A CLIMBING ROUTE
INVOLVING NARROW ROCK LEDGES, SWINGING BRIDGES, CARGO NETS AND STEEL STEPS.
SOUNDS SCARY, BUT YOU ARE ALWAYS TETHERED ON A SHORT LEASH TO A SECURE
CABLE THAT RUNS THE ENTIRE ROUTE. A TRAINED GUIDE LEADS EVERY GROUP,
JEFF BLACKBURN SAYS YOUNG AND OLD CAN HANDLE IT.
JEFF BLACKBURN: As long as you are physically able enough to get through
the initial cargo nets, not everybody is able to do it. Some people have
debilitating fear of heights which is the only thing you have to overcome
here just about anyone can follow instructions, and keep themselves safe
while going through the course.
REECE STEIN: THE CLASSIC TOUR COST $30, THE ADVENTURE TRAIL IS $50, AUSABLE
CHASM LIES DIRECTLY ACROSS LAKE CHAMPLAIN FROM BURLINGTON VERMONT.
IT ALSO OFFERS ROCK CLIMBING, REPELLING, MOUNTAIN BIKING, DISC GOLF
AND CAMPING. I'M REECE STEIN AT AUSABLE CHASM IN UPSTATE NEW YORK.
