DMT - Until the next time
foo
Make my day, tell a friend about this blog!
This is how it ends up, bikes in the driveway and stuff all over the lawn. Plans undone, a plane to catch, disappointment in the air.
Maybe I could have given Jason and Erika the Taco and trailer to get back home to meet their plane while I continued on. At the time it was all about getting Erika back to see her mom and whatever was best for her.
Adventures have only vague plans and uncertain schedules. You take it as it comes and play it as it lays. There were plenty of hits on this trip like Monica the ranger who gave us some tips on places to see and camp away from the tourist crowds. Cheryl, the waitress at our lunch stop, mailed our postcards for us so they would have the Death Valley CA postmark.
The Taco is ready to take us to another adventure. It's just a matter of time before Death March Tours heads out again.

Day 5 - Plan B
A slight change of plans after a rough day of sand and gravel roads. And one small accident.
We're back in Beatty again. (You can check out any time you like, But you can never leave!')
Today we are switching to the Taco and continuing on our original plan. Same route but a different vehicle.
After regrouping and reloading we will be heading for the BDR this morning.

Day 4
Packed up and ready to go. Off to Dante's Peak and then to the connection to the BDR. We've maxed out on hot for now so we're moving on from Death Valley

Day 3
Obviously in no hurry today. But that's what it's all about. Some days are fast and furious, others are laid back and lazy
Day 3 - Looking a little more organized
Breakfast at Mel's and a quick stop for some more supplies. Then off for more fun and adventure

Taking the long way home
Went to see the Rhyolite ghost town and the 30' tall Lego lady.
Then decided to ride through Titus Canyon. In some places it's only wide enough for one car to fit through. I have no pictures because the ones I took are incapable of showing the scale of the rock formations.
When we got back to the highway we found the road blocked by some emergency. It was dark and we were tired. If it we didn't have bad luck we wouldn't have any luck at all!
Like everything else today, it was just another bump in the road to be dealt with. A not to long detour had us heading to Beatty and a well deserved shower.
What fresh disaster tomorrow?
DMT - Day 2 - UnHoley Crap
See the mounting hole in the plate that Jaram welded to my pack frame? Me neither!
And that is a BIG problem!! And it's Sunday when all the shops are closed. But help is on the way. Stay tuned ...

Another Gem
We took a wrong turn and found this hidden gem. Quite a surprise to find an old train here in Ely Nevada.
Loaded and ready to go
Only an hour and a half past the scheduled departure time. That's early for us
