[RC] Death Valley - Peggy B-Smith

Karen,
Thanks for the wonderful photos of DVE. I'm sitting here looking at them and thinking - I should have been there!
Would have been. We were all packed up Friday, horse loaded on our way to do Day 3 and Day 4 and party on New Year's. But - had a low tire and decided to check it out in town on the way out. Good news/bad news - the tire was ok - the rim was cracked! More bad news - no rim anywhere in Tehachapi or vicinity for a 96 Ford! Seems Ford changed the lug pattern in 97. So, we didn't think it was a good idea to go to anywhere with no spare, since I have been having a run of flat tires - one on the way to Bryce!
So - here I am longingly looking at the Death Valley photos and remembering what a great time I had last year doing all four days.
 
Well - happy Day 4 and happy New Year to all at DVE and all on Ridecamp.
