Death Valley Permit
This is the sticker permit we got after we paid $10 per motorcycle. They said the money will go to maintain the park but I rather like the money go to the educational fund of whoever designed the sticker: it said "VISTOR PERMIT" (anybody knows what VISTOR is?) It's a shame as Death Valley National Park has International visitors.

Picnic outside of Scotty Castle
We were trying to get lunch inside the Scotty Castle restaurant but all they have are some cold sandwiches of dubious quality in a refrigerator. Our ride leader Vu carried military MRE (Meal Ready to Eat) in his giant Touratech panniers on his BMW 1200GS so we went outside and had MRE picnic. It was good as MRE has heaters.
