The first day of riding my CRF300L Rally in Death Valley took us to some of the coolest sights in the area including Cerro Gordo (famous from the ‪@GhostTownLiving‬ YouTube Channel), the Reward Mine, and the Alabama Hills (filming location for Django Unchained, Tremors, Iron Man, and more). Huge thanks to ‪@BigRockMoto‬ and friends for showing me around the Death Valley area. I've been a fan of Brent Underwood's Cerro Gordo YouTube channel for a while, so I was stoked to get the opportunity to ride up to visit the ghost town and check out some of the cool artifacts in the mine. Afterward, I rode my Honda CRF300L Rally up to and then INTO the Reward Mine, which is an incredibly unique experience. Then we visited the famous Alabama Hills where some of my favorite movies were filmed. Riding motorcycles in Death Valley is an amazing adventure. The Death Valley Noob Rally is an annual gathering put on by the fine folks over at the ADVRider.com forums.
