Hi Phil and Charlene, no rooms blocked at the hotel. I did use my AARP & BW Gold Crown Discounts, for a cost reduction. Seth and I'll be on our red K1600GT.

Thanks,hope to see you there
Depending mainly on our local weather I might make the trip down. I saw a weather report this morning that looked great and then my wife showed me another report that had a big storm moving in. Around here weather reports more than 24 hours out are pretty much a guess anyway.
When I first saw this posted I thought no way riding out of Cedar in January but lately the weather has been remarkably warm. 90% of our snow cover has melted in town.
Pahrump is only 3 1/2 hours away so we'll see.

Son Seth and BeemerDonS had a wonderful Death Valley National Park Father-Son motorcycle Adventure ride.
Fuel and a Snack at Wikieup.
Followed Historic Route 66 into Kingman.
Historic Train Park in Kingman, right next to the Cross Country mainline running constantly past.
Rarely does five minutes pass in Old Town Kingman without a Burlington Northern Santa Fe highballer!
When Seth and I finally move to the Oregon coast, we want to buy forest land and a caboose to live in.
Seth is shooting most of these photos from his pillion passenger seat on our BMW K1200GT at speed.
This emergency signal rock pile was built by a BMW R1200GS rider whose final drive blew up, he died!
Many years before Seth was born DaddyDon had a Corvette roadster, want to get another with Seth.

Forgot to mention while Son Seth was bowling one afternoon at the Pahrump Lanes, "Pops" Niehart visited from Seattle and Dave/Chuy went "balling" at the Shady Lady Ranch @ Petticoat Junction! JSNS!

Seth (18) and DaddyDon have been riding our Motos to Death Valley National Park every Winter for the last 10 years, the following photos are all taken by Seth on his new Nikon Birthday Camera.
Many of these photographs were taken by Seth at high speed from his passenger pillion seat on our 2012 BMW K1600GT, he's becoming an excellent photographer and also loves our SW Deserts.

Thanks Mark, that will mean much to Seth because he thinks a lot of You and Duchess; he really misses Duke, he gets teary when he thinks of him. Yes, I am very proud of my Son Seth! JSNS!

My Son Seth and I saw something we haven't seen before at Death Valley National Park, Coyotes standing out in the roadway. We saw one at the East entrance near Death Valley Junction, another at the intersection of Stovepipe Wells road and Scottie's Castle road Intersection and the last one at the Southern edge of DVNP at Jubilee Pass. I was afraid to slow the BMW K16GT down too much just in case these Coyotes were rabid, but it appears that they are standing in the middle of the highway to beg for food from passing Motorists!
Great photos, Seth. And you managed to keep Daddy Don out of them?
Would love to have joined you adventurers, but we ain't all retired.
