I disagree. Just last summer, the family and I spent a couple of days in Death Valley on the way to Vegas. It was very different and enjoyable. The temps were in the low teens, so it wasn't that bad, at least my '88 Wolfy didn't mind. For anyone who has never experienced the desert in summer I highly recommend it. The hottest I've ever experienced was on Laguna Diablo in Baja California in July... 127 degrees on the middle of the dry lake. Let's just say that it was physically painful just to stand there and breathe. That being said, it was an experience I'll never forget. The only mistake we made was shutting off our motorcycles. The 2 stroke engines were quite hot and refused to start till they cooled a bit, and due to the heat we were only able to kick them over about three times before we were ready to pass out. Cheers, Jeff

Death Valley that time of year sounds fine, you'd be crazy to go there any other time Paul Rogers |
