Two Valley Tour

[Jeriatric]

Fridays destination Lone Pine, Ca. Will overnight there and tour Death Valley points of interest on Saturday with the days ride ending somewhere near Las Vegas . Overnight again, then head out for a ride through the Valley of Fire with Sundays ride finishing up back home. Looking forward to three fun days of riding without the use of freeways.

Is it Friday yet? :doorag:

Dang, I'll be on the Ladies Only Ride to Carlsbad, NM or I'd be happy to show you around.

Have you ever ridden through Lake Mead National Recreation Area? From Hoover Dam to Overton, NV it is a beautiful ride and you can take it to the Valley of Fire entrance. I personally don't like Valley of Fire because they charge too much money to enter. I have a National Parks Pass which includes Lake Mead.

Arrived Lone Pine about 1630. Cooled the spyder down, fed her some oats, and put her to bed under her travel cover. Am layed over at the Dow Villa, 'Motel portion' and spyder is just out the window. Nice place and a definate recommend if you're ever passing through. (link provided above).

Had a great steak, baked potato, w/asparagus and salad just up the street too.Goooood stuff.

There's snow in the mountains, but nothing for this time of the year compared to years past. Cal is hurting...water wise.

Supposed to be sub 30 here in the morning and will get colder as we climb up and over to Death Valley. Oh boy!!! It's great really.

Spyder ran like a top today. Caught one of my buds checking up on me. He powered up the garmin and asked me what my fastest speed for the day was. I said, think around a hundred (passing 5 cars that had been running nose to tail for miles). Sure enough, garmin said 99. Why lie...:roflblack:

Another geat day in paradise.

See ya later.

Death Valley....has some pretty good roads BUT, if you want to witness breath taking desert beauty. Head for Las Vegas and go straight to The Valley of Fire.......to say I was ah struck! would be a gross understatement. After having seen it I'm convinced there has to be a higher power. If ya know what I mean. Also enjoyed the ride through Lake Mead National park. Very nice indeed. Will do both again. Death Valley ------ Maybe? :roflblack:
