Good News:

Road Update 11/23/2015

Not a lot of change. Roads not listed as closed are open, so most of the park is open. We're working on the closures, but there no estimate on re-opening dates.

What can we expect for temperatures in February? Need to plan what gear to bring.

These are the average JAN-FEB-MAR temperatures FYB, if you snuggle up with Don Carver you will be a hell of a lot warmer! JSNS, Ooo-La-La!

Expect chilly mornings, perhaps as low as upper 30's and mild afternoons. Layers will be the key, it cools off real fast in the desert close to dark.

Thanks. That helps. If I am to snuggle with anyone other than Spanky, I would much prefer the other character in that picture!

dcarver and Msdcarver will grace all of you with our presence at this fine gathering of motobike peeps.

of course we will be in a 1 ton dodge truck, with big-ass camper, even bigger assed-trailer, with an even bigger-assed fjr in the back. And maybe a dualsport bike too.

oh, and a pshyco dog too.

Does anyone know how El Nino has been treating Death Valley?

I Know SoCal has had lots of rain. Up in southern Utah we have been getting precip on days that are are forecast as full sun 24 hrs earlier.

And with that rain, it's looking like the wildflowers will be blooming!!

Yeah, but I heard somewhere that the El Nino may cause a lot of snow in the high passes too. And if the roads are flooded how do we see the flowers???
