Saline Valley, April 12-18 1998

The weather was great this year.  The desert was green and in bloom.  Only twice out of 7 years have we caught the desert this green.  When the clouds came it was only long enough to cover the surrounding moutains in snow, then it cleared up again.  There was enough wind for the wind-generator but not too much to send everyone running for shelter.

We had 14 adults and 10 kids on this trip.  Great Fajitas from Lisa and Fibby, in fact the group dinners were all great.  The usual time in the hot tub star gazing.  Rides to Buns of Steel Pass, the Lippencott Mine road and the Zig Zag road.  The hike to the ridge for most and a run for Robert.  The motorcycle rides are on video, most of the rest you can view in the following photos.
