I guess you can still drive up there with a 4x4 and visit the ruins. The house got burned down a few years ago but the stone portions remain, including the bathroom where Charlie was hiding under the sink. Apparently the road was better back then because they drove a school bus up there!

I've never been in that area at all, but I just keep running into stories and videos about Owens Valley and Death Valley. The Death Valley Germans search and discovery story is on other hand dot org. Worth reading start to finish if you have a few hours to kill

As far as lunatics, you never know when you will run into one or several. That's why I don't go places anymore that I can't carry a sidearm.

Yeah, I'm an old man now, (67) and try to avoid lunatics. Back when I was young and immortal, life was a bit different. I USED to be able to take a lickin and keep on tickin, just like a watch.

That was someone who rented one of those really expensive cars on the strip and didn't know how to operate it, I think it was an Aston Martin. Single car accident.

You see the most interesting things when you travel around this great country. First picture is a rock formation called a sandstone chimney in Kodachrome Basin State park in Utah. Second is a liquor store sign in Chanute, Kansas.

Holy cow that’s a long ride. This kind of trip has been on my mind for a long time. My dad would take me to breakfast on the back of his Harley when I’d go visit him in the summers, I was ages 7-9. He still is an avid rider with multiple bikes, mostly big Harleys and Goldwings. I’m trying to get a trip arranged so we can ride together. He lives in Woodstock Illinois and I’m in Texas. I think I’ll probably end up trailing my bike up to him before we start any trip. I don’t think my backside could handle more than 6 hours a day at this point. I do need to fix my air ride on my bike though, that would make a big difference.
