Nts at Mohave National Preserve

Rick (Falcon) and Robert (Igo) finished off a great and cheap traditional breakfast at a Mom and Pop Casino called Lake Mead Lounge at 7:30 AM March 5 and headed for Searchlight. It was about 50 degrees at departure. We started at 1800 feet elevation but the temperature at our high point, 5000 feet did not change as we followed the sun rising. 100 miles into the morning we were in the Mohave National Preserve. Saved for its nearly pristine Mohave Desert representation and its history in South Western Mining and early western railroading. The preserve is a fantastic place to ride motorcycle.
We topped off the tanks in searchlight about 35 miles from the preserve for that was the last gas we saw for 200 miles. We made several stops at abandoned mines and at the restored RR depot. The weather was such, the bikes were new, and the encroaching spring made this an especially euphoric day from start to finish. Rick is a great guy and an equally great riding partner. Truly a fine day.
