   Some pics (link below) of DV from my return trip to the Pac NW last
spring....
   I pulled in very late to the CG behind the Visitors center and gas
station...Pretty urban scene that, with huge motorhomes and 5th wheel
trailers.  I got an early start and rode up to Dante's Overlook on my
bicycle...Ok going up, but really really cold on the descent.  Be aware
that between DV and Havasu, it is pretty remote and none of the routes are
direct....I really love the open space in that part of the desert...
