Thanks for the welcome!

I got really lucky with the color. There was only one R1200R in any of the local dealers that was not already sold. it was the exact color I wanted and had all the options I wanted. :)

No, Joe, the wildflowers are toast. But the Creosote Bush (Larrea) is blooming, and the Cholla Cactus is looking good. I camped at Furnace Creek, where the temps were over 100° in the day and dropped to 82° by dawn. Yep, it's beautiful!

Got a very early start yesterday and headed west for some great riding in my new locale:

- Skyline Drive: No traffic and no Rangers either! Went all the way down to Elkton about 50ish miles of wonderful views and a great road. Tried to keep speed below 50; generally succeeded.
- Up US-340 to Luray
- East on US-211: Now THAT is a seriously amazing road!!! The 3 miles west of Skyline are great, and the 4 miles east of Skyline are even better!

I took some GoPro video of Skyline and US-211 that I'll try and get posted later. As far as pics, I only have one picture with the bike in it: In front of the Hawksbill Diner on US-340 about 7 miles south of Luray. Great place, great people, and the food hit the spot.
