On The Road Again
It’s time for some Motorcycle Zen. I will be riding to Death Valley tomorrow to meet up with some California Riders for some Camping and Sightseeing. It will be my fourth trip to Death Valley via Motorcycle and now is the time of year to go before it gets hot!
I was planning to cut through Central New Mexico to I-40 but with storms rolling in from the Southwest, I am having to re-route further south. Just getting out of Texas is a monotonous journey on I-1o. You can see by the map image that
Above is my route. To check my progress go to my SPOT Satellite Tracker Shared Page if you want to see where I am during my 7 day ride. It’s 1421 miles from Texas Hill Country to Death Valley, Ca.
I will be riding my 2000 BMW 1150GS and once I clear N.M. it should be great weather ahead. Check back from time to time for updates and Blog’s if I can get service in these remote and semi-remote areas.
Day #1 goal is to reach Deming N.M. for the first night and then Vegas for night #2 for some 700 mile ride days.
Here is a picture from Rhyolite Ghost Town near Death Valley from 2007.
Sounds like a great trip Mark. Glad it was safe.
