Death Valley 🤎

What a nice day. First, when I was at the bike getting ready to leave, I was showing someone my auxiliary lights, which progressed into my 100,000-milencharoty ride and my fundraiser to sign the bike. At least 5 people donated and signed Michael!

Just before 0900, I met up with a rider I met at the Run to Daytona Touring Rally at the end of February. We blasted north to one of my Ride to Eat photo stops, then followed four riders into Death Valley. The riders turned out to the be the rally organizers. We left them when they pulled off to take pictures of the entrance sign.

We needed gas at Furnace Creek, about the center of the park. I was estimating Premium to be over $9 per gallon, but surprisingly, it was under $8. Cool.

had a burger stand outside, so we grabbed some food with a bunch of other folks on the rally, had some nice conversation, then got back into the heat. Fortunately, it was only about 90°F, but that was hot enough for me 🤣!

We took Badwater Road out of the park, stopping at Badwater Basin, the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere. Really cool.

If you haven't been to Death Valley, you should really put it on your list of placea to visit. It's an incredible place. You go from 282 feet below sea level to over 4,000 feet in the snowcapped mountains in mere minutes. The scenery seems to change with every turn, from salt flats to palm trees, washouts to jagged peaks. The heat can be brutal during the day, but the nights can be freezing. If you can find beauty in austerity, then Death Valley is definitely for you!

Now, I'm back at my friend's home in Pahrump getting ready to roll to.Flagstaff in the morning.

Great day!!!

Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️
