This is a dual sport event held out in California about 3 hours North of Los Angeles. It's a big figure eight loop, with the bottom loop circling the Navy Base in the area, and the upper loop goes around Owens Lake and crossing the Inyo Crest. Day 1 was around 195 miles, and Day 2 was around 165 miles. Lots of great desert scenery. In fact, most of the photos are scenery shots from the ride, but a few have some really tiny riders in them ;-)

There was a really neat Salt Tram on The Inyo Crest. It was used from 1910-1930s to transport salt from 7000 feet below in Saline Valley on the east, to 5000 feet below in Owens Valley on the West:
