I'm thinking we need to have meet up in DV with our resident geologists to guide us. Akin to the Carizzo Plains trip. As with that trip just don't have a quiz afterwards 
I love having the engineers along to explain stuff. Makes it that much more interesting when they go "uh, I have no idea what that is".

If there is a geologist/anthropologist trip in the future I would love to join if possible. Throw in an astronomer for good measure too.
I always get a kick out of people when I tell them I'm headed to Death Valley and they cringe and say "why?". Truly a magical place and your reports are fantastic.

Enjoyed the geology class and Foy's contributions also. Nice photos- I especially like the panoramas and the moon shots. Death Valley has a lot of hidden charm that you folks are good at finding. Thanks for your report!

Craig I thought that landfill sounded familiar. It's close to my home where the old "Fat City" feed lot used to be.

Everyone, thank you for the nice comments. Both of us appreciate it!
A big thank you to Alley-Kat and Foy (and many others!) who add their expertise to fill in our knowledge of these wondrous places we love to visit!
Oh, and a couple of others who help with my very rusty spanish.

Mr. Smoke, thank you for the kind comments. Someday we'll have to start in depth poking around that special northwest chunk of Nevada you know about.
