RE: Weekend Camping Trip

I'll not ride Death Valley this trip. Although it isn't a great deal warmer than Yuma, AZ where I live the extreme temps take a lot of the enjoyment out of a place I really love. It is wild and beautiful all at the same time.

Yep. Fall 1969 I was a freshman in college. I don't have children, and my brothers just shake their heads at what I do. When my mother was still alive I had to show her the pictures from every trip. She was a big supporter of my riding.

I plan to camp somewhere near the petroglyph site near Austin. There's a general store/gas station there that ALWAYS has the coffee pot on. Last time I was there it was snowing-not a good condition on a motorcycle.

Dear @bigtom13 , Have you ever been to Death Valley on a previous trip? I thought there would be aliens, ghosts, criminals, and wild beasts in Death Valley.😅
You must have a really strong heart when you spend a few days alone in an uninhabited wilderness.😄
I also want to go to Death Valley someday.
I remember that from the 19th century, many American pioneers heading west lost their lives in Death Valley.
However, if theycross Death Valley, you can reach the heavenly Oregon. I was able to meet @valued-customer and @joeyarnoldvn at Hive, two wonderful American friends living in beautiful Oregon.
I guess I am destined to make friends easily with Americans living in Oregon.😄

I assume you are probably 71 years old now. I am 47 years old. you are my father's age.

I also want to go to the petroglyph site near Austin in the future. I hope you have a safe and comfortable trip.😄
