DAY 7



Arriving in Beatty, Nevada this afternoon,three Thumpers turned into fifteen. My riding partner for the trip home was already here, so after the Thumper Cafe on Saturday, we're headed East.
Today we were going to ride the northern half of Death Valley, but due to one of the bikes having a flat tire this morning at the motel, we didn't have enough time. We did ride to the top of several passes, one being over 10,000' above sea level. There was lots of snow at the top and we had to come down the same way we went up due to the road being snowed shut at the top. We had a great day, and once again the scenery we saw is
indescribable.
We visited Gold Point this afternoon to see what we're in for on Saturday. It's truly a Ghost Town, with 100+ year old buildings the norm. The owner of most of the town calls himself Sheriff Stone, and he's quite a character. Tomorrow should
definitely be an adventure.
We're not sure where we'll be on Saturday night, but
definitely closer to home than we are tonight.
Talk to you on Saturday.
Motor Mike
