My ride reports tend to get pretty detailed so I'll keep this one short.
Here are some pictures from our trip to Death Valley this past weekend. We had been there about a month ago and had a great time. We thought of maybe going to a different place this time, but since we know the window of tolerable weather in DV would soon be closing we figured, why not?
Left late on Thursday, which meant a 2 AM arrival in death valley. Beautiful drive there at least. (The RV belongs to close friends of ours......)
The next morning we'd head to Beatty, NV. The plan was to get gas and lunch there, then head to Ryolite, then on to Titus Canyon. I had no idea what sort of mileage I'd get out of the Husky and the 40 mile trip to Beatty from Furnace creek would give me a pretty good idea. As it turned out, the highway stint yielded +/- 60 mpg!!!
Stop along the way:
Lunch in Beatty:
Lunch (burgers) was over with and it wad time to move on. Next stop, the ghost town of Ryolite, about 5 miles down the road. The girls had a good time playing around with the leftover equipment:
Ok, enough of that...time to hit Titus Canyon:
One of the many abandoned mining outposts along the way. This one is Leadfield.
We made it out of Titus Canyon right at sunset and started back towards furnace creek, about 35 miles away.......
