Now that the "Death Valley Daze" ride is complete I can post this one.
For a couple of years, Rogdebs and I have been talking of riding down to see the wildflowers. With the moisture from these storms the blossoms should be out in the middle of March.
Regardless...we're going! :yahoo:

Open 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Mountain Time, Daily. We are closed Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.
There is no "group rate" as they said it's the beginning of the season, etc., etc., etc.
There are no King Size beds left, they were already taken when we called. Some are reserving a queen/double. I have a double/double and plan to share a room.
There is a campground nearby for those who'd prefer to bring a tent.
When this place is full, others will have to use motels in Lone Pine or at Furnace Creek (or the Casino where the SoCal guys will be).
Either way we can plan a morning rendezvous spot and meet with the group. Or simply see one another at the various sites.
