[LRflex] Re: A few shots from Death Valley

We were in my father-in-law's 4x4 pickup and it was fairly rough.  I would not 
take my RV-van in there.  However, perhaps a good car, with fairly high 
clearance would work.  It is NOT a 4x4 road, just long and rough.  I wouldn't 
have had any dishes left in our van.  We have a 19 foot old Pleaasure Way van.  
 
So, by far a SUV type of vehicle would be best, but there were a few cars in 
there.  I did not see any places where you needed a real high clearance.  But 
be prepared to be shaken around a lot.  Of course, things can change after rain 
storms, but I would say that this year is pretty well set and you could do it.  
It is, if I remember, 27 miles in and 27 miles out.  No short cuts.  But well 
worth seeing.  I think it was the highlight of the trip.  Go for it!!
 
But it will be HOT from now on.  I mean really HOT!!!

Beautiful series, happened to look at more of the album than posted and all 
shots are excelent. Question for you-- how tough of a ride is it to get to the 
racetrack? I've heard all sorts of horror stories such as " high cklearance 
vehicals required, extra tires etc."Aram Langhans <leica_r8@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
