Rather than doing an actual ride report I thought I would just add a couple of shots on to the end of this thread.
Old Michael and I set out a day or two early and took the long way to Death Valley. We took a lot of pictures along the way and since
I can't hold a candle to his photographic abilities, I'll just put up a few shots I'm pretty sure he didn't get.
One more thing before we get started. Old Michael, as many of you know, is a sensitive soul. Although we have a lot of fun mocking him
incessantly, it should be known that I promised not to make fun of him in my ride report. True to my word, I will refrain from making any comments.
However, you, my fellow forum members have made no such deal, so feel free to add your own captions.
Racing across Highway 138 from the Grapevine to Lancaster, I got OM to stop and admire the poppies for a few minutes.
Poppies are the California state flower and Lancaster is the poppy capital of the state.
Although it is hard to tell from this shot, if you look closely you can see orange waves of poppies blanketing
the desert floor in the background.
Just liked the look of this one.
This tiny little guy is from the southern end of Death Valley. It is about the same width as your thumbnail.
As promised.... No comment.
Thanks for looking.
Thanks to everyone who went. I enjoyed meeting new friends and reconnecting with old.
Thanks to Old Michael for putting up with me and showing me roads I didn't know existed.
Let's do it again next year, even if it is going to be Yosemite...Yawn.
