[LRflex] Re: A few shots from Death Valley

Thanks Aram
  I've actually been to DV a number of times, I just haven't had the time to 
get up to that end of the park(usually a quick day trip with the wife) next 
time I do want to make it up there.

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."
