pashnit Donating Member Site Sponsor Registered Mar 19, 2022 #86 Tradition to walk out onto the salt flats a ways and walk back. Temps are a cool mid-80s here. Last edited: Mar 19, 2022
pashnit Donating Member Site Sponsor Registered Mar 19, 2022 #87 Halfway up the rock face is the sea level sign. Andrew says okay, far enough, seen it. Done it. A few months after we came here last year & a few months later in June 2021, Death Valley hit 130 degrees to claim the title hottest place on earth. Last edited: Mar 19, 2022

pashnit Donating Member Site Sponsor Registered Mar 19, 2022 #92 Few more turns, and we pop out of the canyon back into Death Valley
pashnit Donating Member Site Sponsor Registered Mar 19, 2022 #93 Nearby is Furnace Creek, the center of Death Valley Had no intention of fueling up here. It was 6.36 just up the road at Stovepipe Wells. Why it's $2/gallon less 25 miles up the road we'll never know. But the picture is worth it.

pashnit Donating Member Site Sponsor Registered Mar 21, 2022 #95 Day 3 is my solo ride home. My plan was a 13 hour day on the Hayabusa headed up the side of the Eastern Sierra, then over the range. 5 am departure. Spring Forward Fall Back meant it was really 4am. An hour later, the very first dim glow of sunrise. Yes, that's the Sierra Range in the distance. Phil took the same photo a few hours after me on the same road.
