The morning was ice cold, a strong north wind brought cold air over the mountains. But the air was so clean it made the view of the mountains arround us unbelievably clear. It felt as if we could touch them, although the were still many miles away. We didn´t find the way out of Pahrump straight away, so we asked a real sheriff who was just going to get his 9 o´clock coffee. He was wearing a hugh sheriff star on his chest, a reminder of the old days. And very nicly he told us some good bikers ways to get into Death Valley.
Riding into the Death Valley is simply very colourful. The mountains and hills have no vegetation on them, but a lot of minerals in them, what gives them colourful lines and patterns. And an other remarkable thing, was, that whenever we stopped to take pictures and a car happened to pass, they would stop and ask, whether we are ok or need some help.
After entering the Monument Valley you constantly loose altitude, we started at arround 4000 feet and endet at about 100 feet below sea level, were it was also much warmer. Found a nice hotel, took a swim in the pool and went to bed early, the drive had been tough.
