We have all arrived in beautiful Death Valley. The skies are clear, there's no wind blowing, Bad news is that the low tonight is supposed to be down around 32....brrrrrr. Once we all arrived (all 11 rigs, including Carl L and Cindy who are nicely encounced in a hotel room with hot water and electricity !!), we couldn't just sit, so off we went to Badwater (there's actually water out there !!!), Devil's Golfcourse (Mike and Bernie found the sink hole and a whole bunch of Forumites follwed them out across the rough, salt-encrusted plain), then Artist's Drive. Unfortunately, we diddled around too much at Badwater and Devil's Golfcourse and missed the best lighting in Artist's Drive/Palette so we'll just have to go back another afternoon.
I suspect that pictures will follow after the big photogs get back from eating liver and onions (ick) at the Furnace Creek Cafe.
It's almost embarrassing to be here with this splendid weather when the eastern 2/3 of the country are suffering with wind and snow......ALMOST embarrassing, but we'll suffer through.
Wish you were all here. More to follow.
