Right on good to see a someone from SC. It seems we're a rare breed here.
Pic is going up South Park Canyon in the Panamint Mountains.
More pics of the Taco Stand? You got it. All were taken on a trip we just got back from in or near Death Valley Park, although we never even saw the Valley itself, much less entered it.
Looking down on the Panamint Valley.
This is just after the bridge. It an obstacle called Chicken Rock. A 90 degree off camber turn with a 100' drop if you screw it up. It's easy-ish, but unsettling.
Tea Kettle Junction.
Dedekera Canyon. A guy in a stock 4Runner had built a damn road through here. He was being coached by an experienced friend. The guy was so stoked to be out there and it was fun watching him hoot and holler as he went through.
Headed for Papoose Flats in the Inyos. We were the first to go through this year judging by the lack of tire prints in the snow and dirt. We didn't make it though since I misread the guide book and went into "The Narrows". I broke all my rules on that one and paid the price. I knew I should scout ahead, but didn't. It took an hour to get back out once I realized my mistake. Luckily my truck is the only one with scars...
And this is the first body damage I've incurred after fifteen years of exploring. It's actually kind of a relief.
