Death Valley

This trip was to the Death Valley area where I did some exploring on January 30, 2010.

My trip to Yuma and area --

This trip was a camping trip in the Yuma area where I was doing some motorcycling, bicycling and fishing.

This map shows where I have been. Enjoy.

Saturday 23 January

I'm home! Tried to come up U.S. Highway 95 all the way to Needles but found the highway closed north of Parker, Arizona, due to storm damage. So I stayed in Arizona all the way to I-40. Then followed that to Barstow and finally home. Didn't lose much time with the detour. A good trip but it wasn't long enough. Next time I'll plan more time for the Yuma area. There is just so much to see and do there.

Friday 22 January

Today is sunny and beautiful again. T-shirts and shorts once again. Think I'll head home tomorrow. Will have to find an interesting route home this time.

Thursday 21 January

Ok. Time to hollar "uncle". 24 hours of heavy downpour and high winds today. Was a good day to stay in the trailer and watch movies all day long. The interesting part was when the weather service issued a tornado warning for right where I was. They also said not to seek shelter in mobile homes (trailers?) or vehicles. Ah, ok. Just turn up the volume on the TV so I don't hear the oncoming tornados I guess. ;-)

Wednesday 20 January

Another beautiful warm, cloudless morning. Seems to only rain at night here. Rained hard last night but today is T-shirt and shorts weather. Do I really have to go home some day?

Tuesday 19 January

Woke up to beautiful cloudless skies this morning. Out hiking in the hills now and cloudy. May rain later. Probably stay in this evening and watch TV or a movie.
