Click here to see several pages of photos from the ride.
As I was packing, I couldn’t believe that an entire year had gone by since we had been to Death Valley in 1998. For us, it is the first ride of the new ride season and a great escape to get away to a warmer and dry climate. It had

We started in the dark on day 1. As Crockett said, it was as dark as the inside of your eyelids. We began with a controlled start and as we began our long ascent to 11,100′ I couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear. This was one ride that I had wanted to do for at least four or five years and this year I finally firmly decided that we were going to

Karen and Rocky at the Washoe Valley 100
I think it was Wednesday night before the ride that I decided to take Rocky to this ride. I had pre-entered my other horse but wasn’t really sure which one was going. After doing 20 MT I was pretty sore and not sure I ever wanted to ride ‘ol Rockhead on another 100 miles. But I got over that, funny how all those aches and
