You guys will get a kick out of this one.

Image of the night sky taken from racetrack playa in Death Valley 2 years ago

It's digitally enhanced and stretched (and stitched together) from images taken 2 years ago (tile of 30 images).

EDIT: I goofed this one up. It's two years old, but 30 sources images :)

I believe it was only two years ago, so still time for us to see sights like that. I love that checking all the other pictures on that site!

KJ WEST has gone in the Fall in previous years. We will have to hit up Mario and see if he can squeeze in a trip this year. I would like to get back out here again but Really not looking forward to that dang washboard road.

That washboard road was one of the highlights of the trip :) Remember the guy who limped out with two blown tires?

I miss you guys and the trips ... :(

That's an awesome picture.

Mario mentioned something about doing this run again, but going in a different direction.
Last year, the roads were pretty smooth and the mine we visited was really cool.

We miss you guys. If you ever want to join us on a run, just fly out and ride with me. I'll even check my battery before we go :wink:
