Old Spanish Trail Rally Day 2

The ride with the guys yesterday was great. It was nice to ride with a group again.

After reaching Victorville, CA, the HD had a hamburger/hotdog meal for us, then a few of raffle prizes.

Side note: Each evening, there is a banner everyone signs, roughly 3 feet long and 2 feet high with the rally logo on it. I was sitting by the banner eating my burger when a lady came up to sign. We said hi, then she told me how her husband had won one of the raffle prizes the night before. But SHE had to carry it on HER bike, so HE was absolutely NOT allowed to win anything else. She had no more room for his stuff. An hour later, the banner went up for raffle. She won it. 🤣🤣🤣

Today, I'm riding with Bill, the rally organizer and who I rode with in the Ozarks, and we're in Death Valley to get his California 10 Rides For 2021 picture at Badwater. I got.mine here last week, but the area is so beautiful that I said I'd ride with him. We've stopped for lunch in Furnace Creek, a nice oasis about 180 feet below sea level. I think I understand why Death Valley draws so many people to it.

So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️
