Death Valley M&G Spring 2020
- Thread starter OMoaC
- Start date
March. Better wildflowers.
Another possibility is Shoshone Inn:

The big issue in DV is restaurants. There aren't many. Shoshone has the Crowbar, which is OK. But Shoshone is in position for good riding. Drop into DV from the south end, then ride up to Furnace Creek, then over to Panamint Springs, then up to Father Crowley Point, then back to Shoshone.
Of course, Pahrump has places to stay as well, and some OK restaurants. Heck, if we're staying in Pahrump, we can grill at my place, for whatever that's worth.

From the center of town 61 miles to Furnace Creek.
From Pahrump all the way to Lone Pine, CA and back is about 330 miles round trip. It's a nice day trip for me.
I'm pencilling it in.
I've been all over the surrounding area, but never dropped into Death Valley -- sounds like an adventure!
I've got a 500-mile ride to get there, but should have ample vacation days to burn that time of year. :great:

I'm in! And maybe Pam also! :motonoises: :motonoises: :great:
Good evening everyone, I hope you’re well. Not to be selfish or anything but I’m trying to organize my spring. Anybody have any additional information about this ride? I’m planning on riding from the Dallas-Fort Worth area to death Valley because I can and because the SW COG group is awesome and I’d like to hangout with you people again.
, oh God I hope not. I hate the heat.

Make it first weekend in April. Wildflowers usually are cooked after that.
This is what 'm looking at. Truly vintage. Local BBQ and hot springs baths. Thoughts? https://www.delightshotspringsresort.com/en-us

Well that is truly rustic! If most are in favor then I am a go! That 3 bedroom house looks cool...along with the other rooms!

April 3-5 is great with me!
I have never stayed there overnight but i have availed myself of the hot springs pools after rides and after work many times. I like the place and would happily stay there! Pros and cons in no particular order or priority:
Pros:
- very clean and well kept
- hot springs pools are in private “rooms”. Walls, but open to the sky.
- RV camping spaces
- good riding location for DV!
Possible Cons:
- no smoking in the hot springs rooms.
- only 4 hot springs rooms, so have to switch out every 30 minutes if there is a line. Nice little courtyard to wait in though.
- no alcohol in the hot springs rooms, theoretically. [Insert casual tuneless whistling here]
- last I heard they had quiet hours after 8pm.
Resort looks awesome -- nice find Old Man.
Nearby restaurant looks good too!
Noticed that you have to bring in your own drinking water. Maybe anyone coming in on a trailer can mule in some 1-5 gallons jugs.

Haha, maybe true. Just don't give me shite if you see me brushing my teeth while chillin' in the hot tub.
Hey, and I see the local brew pub has free refills on coffee. Wonder if they mark the date on the cups or if one is good all weekend? :great:
