sweet! I cant wait to get out there
Yeah, me neither. I really need another weekend of wandering around in the desert!
hmm...this falls right between some other trips I have planned, and I'll have to think about coming. We'll see. I'll probably have some jet-lag, but might be able to swing it.

Obviously, I'm pretty psyched.
Cant wait to get on the trail for a bit. Dan are you still thinking you might be able to make it?
Man I wanna go so bad. I'm still gonna say I'm in at this point. Hope I don't feel too crappy around that time. Can't wait!

Bringing the family?Originally Posted by kafene
Troy,
I did a Death Valley trip just over a week ago. It was hot on the valley floor, we camped at 7000' and it as perfect.
The gas station in Trona in your picture is gone. There is a new pilot station east of the old Chevron, it was closed when we drove through but looked like minor repairs going on and looked like it should be open soon. You might want to call if anyone is counting on gas in Trona.
The roads were extremely washed out. We did Saline Valley road North to South and couldn't complete it because my friend was in a Syncro and didn't have the ground clearance for the final 2 mile climb out. Had to backtrack over Lippencot road which was also extremely washed out. Saline Valley road was actually closed but easy to get around the sign. Not sure how the south got hit but roads could be worse than expected, shouldn't be a problem for a stock truck with 4WD and some armor but 2WD may need some help.
Just a heads up.
Have a great time.

Yeah... planning on it. I'm getting better at packing a little bit lighter. 8) Good thing, because I have less space on the roof rack because the spare takes half of it.
