After a few days in Mammoth it was time to head out to the big annual SIA show in Las Vegas. Leaving the powder for the sun means driving through some interesting terrain
'"An open road, that donât have no bends" - Motorhead
Mammoth is located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, which rise up over 14,000 feet. Not more than a few hours away lays Death Valley, much of which is under sea level. Between the two lies the Panamint Valley, the variety of terrain in such a short distance is amazing
