This is a great report. I'm glad you had the chance to see some truly amazing parts of the west. When are you headed down next?

Just awesome DD...Great write up!! THe photos form Cerro Gordo look awesome! Added to my list!

You are right about the must do tourist stuff..Badwater, artist pallete and such, well worth the look....I mean, when's your next chance to go to 282 feet below sea level?

Great report DD. I wish I had your camera skills.

Was there anyone at Cerro Gordo and did you get the official tour? That loop through Cerro Gordo, Saline Valley, Panamint Valley and Death Valley is on my to do list. I'm also glad you got to the Alabama Hills - awsome camping and rockclimbing area.

Again thanks for putting this together.

We didn't see anyone there. I look forward to going back the entire route was amazing.

On another note, Marc and I walked around Darwin for a while - there are a lot of inhabited homes there. Funny thing is we never saw even one person. Creepy.
