Hey Gary, got home to Pgh and 15 degree temps very late Mon and today will be my second day back at work. Will post a ride report w pics and movies in due course. My legs are still whooped-out from bad standup technique on the first day of 130 miles. High point of the trip was riding the dunes outside of Pahrump, but honestly we saw so much stuff and challenging, varied terrain it is hard to even comprehend, plus -- Jet boneyard in Mojave, the Trona Pinnacles, the X-15 crash site, the Husqvarna Memorial, the "living" ghost town of Randsburg, Death Valley Borax flats, the Spring Mts and canyons outside Furnace Creek. Blasting into the Vegas strip on 8 crazy "enduro" bikes on Sunday at twilight was loads of fun too!  My Husky TE450 ran great but was a little tricky for me in the tight, off-camber downhill singletrack (tall seat, lots of power and sensitive brakes commanded full respect).  The guides from Ad-Mo Tours in Wrightwood CA (John, Rob and Aaron) were awesome in both riding, advice and terrain knowledge. As a once in a lifetime -- better than a Caribbean Cruise -- spend three full days in the desert with no maintenance, food or lodging worries -- I highly recommend it!!!  (rental KTM 450s, 525, Husky 450s, Suzuki DRZ 450s)  Best, John
