Death Valley National Park (one day ride for 584 miles)
Hi, everybody.
I got my record of 584 miles ride on one day.... It wasn't planned ride, but situdations forced me to ride. Couldn't take many photos this time, as half of ride was under the dark (cold). I really appreciate (thanks to) to the people whoever built those road signs and reflective pods on the road. Without them, I couldn't even try to ride on the night........ Those are really helpful, as I coulnd't see anything else but road lines, signs and reflective pods. About 12 hours riding, 7 hours under the dark... GZ250 high beam is really helpful, it is really do jobs......... I want to go this route at the next summer, I miseed most of the Death Valley beauties. With today's ride, I confirm that we people creatures are so tiny compare to the nature. However, I also admire we human being's abilities and possibilities. Yes, people created and decorated the amaizing roads over the nature's skin, so I could do pass and enjoy the natures beauties. ONE the most amaizing experience that I have on this ride is....... I saw "The Stars on the Sky", not just Stars but Filled On the Sky. Never saw that many stars on my entire life. I attached a contrast adjusted photo which I tried to take without shaking (8 seconds exposure). You won't believe how many stars are on the sky, those are filled in the sky. I felt that I could touch them if I wanted with my hands.

I started to like the "Smells of the Desert" and "Colors of Stars".....
