A great trip! Very nice photos too. Death Valley looks like a fascinating place. We will have to get there one of these days.

No kidding, fabulous pics and all round good looking TR. I have got to get my big self over to Death Valley one of these days. You all make it look so appealing. My wife is always saying "there's nothing there" but she doesn't see these pictures. We've only been as far as Dumont Dunes to run sand buggies 30 years ago, there's so much more to it. I'll be showing her this TR for sure. Thanks mucho...

My future wife said much the same thing,"Who would want to go to a place called Death Valley??" [emoji15]. It only took one visit to change her mind.
