Death Valley will not Defeat us!



After several water-crossings in Pahrump and along the way through Death Valley on Hwy 190, we were ready for this challenge - Go Marc! Go Joe!

We all made it through safely only to be turned back 15km later

Death Valley was CLOSED!!!

Was it because Marc and Mary were there?

Time to find another route to Lone Pine, Death Valley will not defeat us. We went north on I-95 and headed back though on another road. We finally arrived safe and sound, in the dark, in the rain and we know now why the road was closed. No pictures because it was too dark, too cold and too rainy.

We Made It



Rain gear off, temperature warming up! Life is good.
What could go wrong now?


Location:Death Valley

First Rain of the Day



It wasn't long before we hit rain... It follows us everywhere
Location:Pahrump, NV

Great Start

Who knew what the day would bring... We were full of optimism....




Rain in the Desert




Once again we have brought the rain with us!! Who would think we would be here on the one rainy day since.... Oh yes, the locals could not recall the last time.

Water crossing all though the town of Pahrump, NV. About 1 foot deep with lots of small debris and a few passing cars splashing us.
