Day 2 started a bit late after a nice breakfast from Panamint Springs. A group of big KTM's left early, all loaded up and looking strangely like KLR's with milk crates and bungees holding more things on than seems really necessary.
We headed out towards Darwin Falls and circling around to the Hillbilly Estates, where they protect the town with this flower cannon??
After crossing through the Hillbilly Estates we headed up the most epic section of trail, a winding 2 track with a moderate amount of sugar sand that ran between the shrubs and Joshua Tree's up to a pass between two very large rock outcrops in the distance. No picture would do it justice, so I didn't even try, but it looks similar to this section.
Then we crossed the HWY and headed to Tea kettle junction, as we climbed over the pass the temps really dropped off.
Then a stop at the Racetrack Playa, man this place is cool to walk around on, again the pictures don't do it justice
