Default Death Valley

Off to Death Valley in the morning. Seems like the right time for a trip there. Never been, always wanted to go since watching "Death Valley Days" on TV as a kid. Y'all have fun at work, see you in a few days.

You could always go to the Spahn Ranch.
Back in the day that was on TV quite a bit too.

Used to live a couple miles from the Spahn Ranch. Seems the group living there got into some sort of trouble with the law. Never did pay much attention to the neighbors! (They were nuts!)

I recomend Scotty's Castle just outside the park. The view from Dante's Peak is awesome and Badwater Basin is a must.

2 days, 1,100+miles. Cold everywhere but DV. Spent more time riding than taking pics. Here are the few I took.

Did Death Valley over Presidents Birthday vacation a couple of years ago. More of a Jeep trip than on bikes. Hot in the day, cold at night, we were camping. It chills off fast when the sun is not around. Dante's Peak and Scotty's Castle are some must sees.
