Las Vegas, Nv. to Bishop, Ca.

We're all rested up and off to an early morning start (7am), we're planning on a brunch in Pahrump before we head into Death Valley, its a bit cool this morning (GO FIGURE) we are in a desert aren't we!!!!!

Any way we're on Hwy 160 on our way to Pahrump and about 18 miles from Pahrump, Sharron tells me on our two way radio that the bottom of her right foot is very itchy.  This itch quickly spreads to her entire foot then appears in her left foot followed by her wrists.  We figure something is going on so we pull over to the side of the Hwy. were Sharron quickly gets off here bike and removes her gloves and boots and starts scratching herself so badly I thought she would tear the skin right off.  Mean while Don and I are quickly applying Pollysporin and other ointments to try and ease the itching to no avail.  Sharron then complains that her tongue seems to be swelling.  At this point we are starting to get very concerned as it appears to be more than a simple itch.  Some one and I don't know who suggests Sharron take antihistamines.  Luckily just the day before I had bought some in Vegas when my sinus's were stuffed.  Sharron quickly took two of these pills.  At this time I felt we had to get her to a Hospital ASAP so I flagged down a car for help and luckily enough the first two vehicles stopped.  The first car agreed to take Sharron to the hospital in Pahrump but was not sure were it was.  I followed this car on my bike and got them straight to the hospital using my GPS. (this turns out to one of the best investments I have ever made).

Once at the hospital Sharrons throat and tongue swelling appeared to have stopped.  I thanked the lady who drove her in.  When we went into the emergency Sharron was immediately taken in and given some type of steroid to stop any further swelling and they monitored her for two hours to make sure she was OK.  The Doctor said that it was a good thing we had given Sharron the antihistamines as this is what stopped her from going onto Analeptic shock and she might not have made it to the hospital other wise.  (Alls well that ends well)

Mean while Don and Sue are still out on the Hwy were we left them.   In the panic to get Sharron help we had failed to give Don and Sue the keys to her bike.  Sharron's feeling great so we rescue Don and Sue from the side of the Hwy and return to Pahrump for much needed Brunch and much discussion on the happenings of the morning.

After gassing up the motorbikes and filling the prescription the Dr. had given Sharron we continued on our way through Death Valley, the Panamint Valley, Lone Pine then North to Bishop Cal. were we spend the night.  Luckily we had no further excitement along the way, well other than the views and the ride.
