Day 1
Tuesday, Jan 31.
For the last three years I’ve been going to Death Valley with my riding buddies, part of the ADV Death Valley Daze scene. Always took my trusty KLR and tent camped. Now that I have the Tenere I wanted to take my wife Virginia and show her some of the places I’ve been to.
Due to some unknown reason, my local riding group went the week after the regular DVD weekend. The park service decided to close the main Furnace Creek campground so they moved the tent campers to Texas Spring and the RV’s to Sunset (yes, I have a toy hauler). Not really a problem except we couldn’t have a campfire.
Death Valley is one of the best places to ride. It is so huge and varied. You can start a ride warm and dry and get snow, rain, wind, pavement, graded dirt, rock gardens, sand, and soft silt………..all in the same day!
When we got DV we met up with my dad Gordon and his companion Carol.
This is my dad’s rig, he built it from scratch about 6 years ago. He and Carol go all over the freaking place. Not to bad for a guy who just turned 83!
I guess this is why they call the campground Sunset.
