Motel 6 in Beatty is the most popular lodging place.

I'm in...arrival on Friday, departure on Monday.

If there's any of the AZ contingent going, I'll start a thread in the state board.

Well, it's nice to have some reassurance that some of the roads are NOT going to be open when we get there:

Three months after flash floods hammered Death Valley, one of the national park's main attractions and two of its paved entrance roads remain closed, and they're expected to stay that way well into 2016.

Spokeswoman Abby Wines said the park hopes to reopen Badwater Road through Jubilee Pass at Death Valley's southern end by June and Scotty's Castle Road through Grapevine Canyon at the park's northern end sometime in fall.

Wow...

In years' past, there had been dozens and dozens of posts on this topic here.

This time?

No matter, the event will still happen - same times, same places.

Progressive Monotubes now installed as well as new fork seals to fix a left fork seal leak.... and went on a short 10 mile ride Sunday afternoon at the completion of the repair/modification! Stuff needed to be done to make this ride.....

Ten to 15 degrees warmer in the valley...that'll be rideable. Long range wx forecasts available now. As long as this trough backs off a few hundred miles north it'll be okay.

EDIT: Three weeks?

MY calendar shows two weeks, but what do *I* know??

I've used this in the past with reasonable accuracy (not that there's such a thing...) forecast out two weeks - this is Vegas for that weekend:
