From our 6:50 AM Driver’s Meeting at the Horizon Market at Bell Vista and Leslie, we traveled West on Bell Vista to Death Valley Junction. After a short jog North on the 127, the octet of Jeeps turned West on the 190 and followed it to the Entry Fee Station. Continuing West, our group of explorers aired down at Zabriskie Point.

The Pahrump Valley 4 Wheelers, as one of our contributions to the community, are the primary caretaker of the plumbing that feeds a wildlife watering trough from a couple of springs up the creek. We combined a work party to bury the plastic tubing inside some metal pipe in the highest traffic areas adjacent to the water tank with our annual Spring Fling. Paul & Gary approached Ahern Equipment Rental to see about getting a discount on a trencher, but the great people at Ahern generously offered to bring up a backhoe, hand tools, 150′ of pipe and laborers at no expense to our club.

Our Tuesday group of adventurers was down a couple of Jeeps from the previous days run. Rick & Mary had already indicated they could only do the Monday trail as they had a previous engagement on Tuesday. Jeremy had already helped me with pre-running all 3 groups of trails and did the Hot Creek run twice. I really appreciate all he did to assist with putting on the Tonopah Club Run.

You may have heard of the famous Mizpah Hotel. Well, Sandi and I stayed at the motel right next to it.
Roughly a third of the group complained that a 7:00 AM start was too early, several that thought it was a good time and the balance couldn’t understand why we were starting so late. From the Driver’s Meeting, 5 Jeep Wrangler Unlimiteds (4 door) and a Toyota FJ headed South on Main Street to Highway 6 East. At Saulsbury Wash Rest area, we took our first break. There were bighorn sheep ewes and lambs gathered at Warm Springs, so we stopped again to look at them.
