2008 Spring Ride to Death Valley [page 2]

Soon, morning coffee [map]

Home, sweet home [map]

I was up with the sun Saturday morning after a mostly comfortable night. I got a cramp in my foot and no amount of massaging helped until I finally got out of the tent about 1 AM and walked around under a full moon. The 10 minute walk was almost worth the cramp. After morning coffee I put on my riding gear for a leisurely day of riding.

The riding day started when we met WWWobble and the SMBC regulars at Furnace Creek for breakfast a little after 9. Participants were Randy, Carl, Stan, Dan, George, Fred, Adrianne, me, and Bob.

After breakfast some of us went to Scotty's Castle where Randy, Bob, and I wandered around taking pictures. We climbed to Scotty's resting place. The winds that started with the rising sun were getting stronger, quite noticeable at the higher elevations. Fred and Adrianne were waiting to take one of the castle tours.
