Bad news

Once again. I have more bad news.
My health has taken another turn for the worse and I have
a surgery/procedure inconveniently scheduled for the week
of the Vegas trip.

I'm so upset. Upset is an understatement here.
I was really looking forward to this run.

On maybe the bright side for someone else,
I have to figure out how to go about refunding our hotel room.
I'd be happy to pass our Palace Station room onto someone
in the club if we are able to. I know it has been sold out for a while.
I'll keep you posted.
I'm so very, very sad.

I went through Death Valley on the way home last year and did it in 12 hours including a couple of short sighting seeing stops, and lunch Furnace Creek Ranch. It was a nice drive until I got to Bakersfield and got on I5.

I'm going this year but going to Palm Desert first, and taking back roads from there. I will look for you guys in Thursday afternoon.
