We couldn't get away for an overnighter, but we did enjoy a perfect day for riding..
The route
Left around 8:30, north on HWY 95, over the ramp from Summerlin Parkway
HWY 95 north of Las vegas has been under (de)struction for about 5 years now, never seems to end
Perfect morning
Coming into Indian Springs, NV for breakfast
Stopped and had the $7 New York Strip steak and eggs
A convenience store and "cathouse" at the Amargosa junction, HWY 95 & 373. We stopped here a couple of years ago, got gas and discovered the back part of the store was a "brothel" - didn't stop today, don't know if it is still in business
Gassed up in Beatty, then a short hop to Rhyolite on 374
There are still several parts of old buildings still standing
The entrance to the Overbery bank
Donna in front of the Cook's bank
Looking back south
An old caboose
Some of the Goldwell Open Air Museum sculptors in Ryholite
Donna with "Ghost Rider"
The Sofie Siegmann
The Last Supper
The "Tom Kelly" glass bottle house (made entirely of glass bottles)
We jumped over to Death Valley National Park, rode a few miles and decided we didn't want to get home after dark again, so we turned around and went back
Coming back towards Beatty on HWY 374
A large dark cloud appeared, looked like rain, so we didn't waste anymore time and rode home.
I did receive a new pin from the BMWMOA for my travel tip on the oil window plug, it is in this month's issue of BMW ON magazine, page 114 (shameless plug, bad pun) had to add it to my jacket
About 285 miles round trip
