Panamint Valley. Happy New Year December 31, 2008 by Karen Chaton I had made three days so far and was so determined to make it to at least start the 4th day that a herd of wild horses couldn’t have stopped me. I was looking forward to riding Bo so much on the 4th day that I dreamed about it. I woke up with a feeling of excitement and breathlessness, as if I knew Continue reading My Death Valley Encounter, Day 4 Happy New Year! My Death Valley Encounter, Day 3 Panamint Valley. BoGo. by Karen Chaton A Misbehaving Bo, Day 3 DVE The ride numbers this year were way down from the previous year. By more than 1/3.

The night before the wind blew hard – so hard that the porta-potties in camp both blew over, and everybody reported not being able to sleep due to the wind. I Continue reading My Grand Canyon XP Ride 1st Place and BC – Day 2 – Stephanie & Hadji Halef Omar Unofficial but here is a bit of info on how the ride is going so far: Day 1 – 45/44 starters/completions.
