These photos are from the 2011 Baker to Vegas, 27th Annual Challenge Cup Relay festivities at the Hilton. The afternoon started off with Unofficial Results being posted and the adjustment of point calculations beginning. There were penalty assessments for various infractions, each being assigned a time deduction value. The scene outside reminded me of seeing a bunch of students gathered around the bulletin board to find their test scores. Various groups had booths raising funds and advertising. There were a couple celebrity sightings, ala Forrest Griffin, who was kind enough to pose for photos with fans. There was an awards …

Baker, Las Vegas, Nevada, Photos, pictures, Southern California / 1 minute of reading / April 18, 2011

This weekend was the 27th Annual Challenge Cup, Baker to Vegas Relay. Law enforcement personnel from around the world take part in this event which is a 120 mile run from Baker, CA to Pahrump, NV and then on to Las Vegas.

I do not know if you have ever driven this route, but while being a pretty drive, I can not imagine running for fun through this part of the desert.

These photos were taken at Baker High School, in preparation for the Challenge Cup Relay. Back to Baker High Photos Back to Baker …

Another fine day in paradise

Whenever I go away for a while, there is one thing I really look forward to upon arriving home. The weather. On my last day riding home from Sturgis I had to get up early so I could leave Las Vegas before it got too warm. The reason for this is that no matter how hot Las Vegas is, Baker and Barstow are probably going to be hotter. At least in the summer. It is exactly the opposite in the winter. Even though I left at 8:20 AM, the coolest temperatures I dealt with were in the upper 90’s, and …
