Left Pahrump this morning and on to Death Valley. Near Furnace Creek passed a small settlement with the Death Valley Health Center? The What? Death and Health should not be in the same name. Death Valley was incredible different from what I expected uploaded lots of photos.
Left Death Valley and went from -200 in altitude to almost 5000 feet in less than an hour. Then turned south skirting the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada's for the rest of the day. They are very imposing mountains rugged and snow covered. The weather channel kept insisting that the roads we were on had very high winds and that travellers should use extreme caution. This made riding tense and a little challenging but not impossible with frequent rest stops.
Finished the day a little short of where we thought we would be, someplace called Tehachapi, but found a nice restaurant and sat there visiting for about two hours, after all it was Tuesday.
Even with the cool weather and wind I just love riding with friends. As Joni Mitchel said in "Coyote", "I'm just a prisoner of the white lines on the highway".
