Day 1: Visitor Center Parking Lot

Finally ready to go after having to back track to the Texaco on highway 191 for water. After unloading our gear and getting ready to ride we were treated to a mandatory video on desert survival and etiquette. Henry's shiny red truck was our sag wagon for this trip. Henry (foreground), Steve C. (left) and Mike P. look ready to rumble (or maybe Mike's just trying not to tilt over, I'm not sure).
