now that looks awesome!!..thanks for sharing...

 

First thing first: I'm a newbie at this travelling business on a bike and there is no way I could have packed my camping gear on my rental bike after flying for 6 hours! And I'm a woman too: I like my comfort after a long riding day i.e. restaurants and hottubs .

So to answer your question, we stayed in Lone Pine the first night and Beatty the second night. We should have stopped in Stove Pipe Wells for the night but the sun was setting when we drove through it and the scenery was so amazing, I wasn't ready to call it a day! We pushed it a little too much that day and we arrived in Lone Pine quite late. Tip: if you see a gas station, fill up! Even if you don't need it.

I might try camping this summer but I will start slowly with an overnight trip.

 

If I wasn't chained to my IV at the hospital, it would be a done deal already! I told my youngest daughter to be ready to move out after high school so I can sell the house and ride all year-round. She's not happy about that but that's life. I'll look at those destinations and dream... since it's all I can do right now with the snow outside. Thanks!

 

I hear you on the camping.

I stayed in motels at work for so many years that I am tired of them. I just stay in my camper now when I'm at work.

When I go on a bike trip I usually camp about half the time or more and motel the rest. Never know how you will like it. I think it's great.
