Hello all,

I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank all the individuals who responded to my question about doing photography in Death Valley. Never realized that so many people in this group had been to Death Valley. I not only received a wealth a suggestions for film exposures and such but I also received a wealth of information, sources, and reminders of how to survive in the heat of Death Valley. I have followed up the leads and am now better acquainted with the place. As for the reminders, staying hydrated, clothing, boots, etc., I am taking them very seriously and appreciate the time that many persons took to answer me, both on list and off list. It's great to know that I can always count on the members of this group. I will be very careful. I intend to come back and tell you how I conquered the extreme contrast problem ;)

By the way, I did find out about the cell phone situation in case of an emergency. Cell phones do not work in Death Valley and environs.

Just one last question. There are a number of things that I will want to pick up when I get there, styrofoam cooler, road flares, 5-10 gal water container.... I'll be flying into Las Vegas around noon and picking up my rental car and then driving to Tecopa Hot Springs where I am staying, 2-3 hours away. I was thinking that an Army Surplus store might be the best place to pick up some of the supplies that I need. If anybody knows Vegas and can give me directions to an Army Surplus or something similar, from the the Airport, it would save me a lot of time looking and probably not finding anything. I have a map of Vegas, so just give me the directions.

And on that note, a great big Thank You to everybody who contributed to making this a great trip. Getting ready for it is half the fun. THANKS!

Cheers,
Bogdan
