Great photos! I'm jealous of the weather.
I rode to work yesterday and went into a full 2 wheel slide on some black ice, with studded tires! Boy, do I need to ride south! I can't see over the snow banks while standing on the bike! At least it's finally melting!

Definitely recognize a few of those places...Titus Canyon...Tea Kettle Junction...Devil's Racetrack. I've done a few trips to DV, Anza-Borrego, and points between. I love California's desert country almost as much as southern Utah. Fun place...good pics.

Illking, have you ever done Trail Canyon to the south of Furnace Creek? I've ridden just about everything in and outside the park, and I think Trail Canyon was the roughest of any of them. The last time I rode it was a ton of continuous baby heads for much of the ride. There was a neat old mining site at the end. Lots of pretty country in that area.

TNC, i havent done trail canyon. the most difficult part of this trip was lippincott pass. I thought it was really fun though. last year i remember a long wash after the hot springs full of baby heads and deep sand and gravel it really wore us out. Anza Borrego is next on my list, ive been wanting to check that out for a while now.

Awesome! I love Death Valley. Haven't been to a noob rally in two years... kinda hard to when you live way the F up here.

Weather's starting to improve here; we have a ride tentatively planned for Sunday out around Bend, if the weather is decent.
