Epic Ride to See Black Sabbath in Irvine, CA

My time there, other than the BS concert in my biz. ;) On the way back, the weather was against me with all it's might. First wave of rain in the Mojave, it felt great and I dried out in minutes. Second wave, pretty intense, but it sure beat riding through the Utah mountains in 50 F weather plus rain. Third wave was hell with hail. 2" of standing water on the highway, pounded by hail, no shade or shelter... But ever smell the desert during and after a rain? It smells like a spice cabinet, beautiful!

Sun comes out and now it takes 30 miles to dry out but damn, was it hot. Gas up in some desert town (where the picture was taken) and it had to be 130 F. Haul *** to Boulder NV thinking of a big beer and clean sheets.
