Took a small group of 7 trucks on a 3-day run through Death Valley this weekend. Had an incredible time, and really enjoyed all 3 days. The group was incredible, and did a GREAT job making it through all 3 days with almost no issues (only 1 flat tire) and making great time in the process.

Total mileage was just under 600 miles from start to finish, and we did everything from high speed lake beds, to rock crawling with spotters... had a great time. Will definitely be making this same trip again in the future. It's possible to condense a large portion of this into 2 days, but the 3 day trip sure was nice, and allowed us to relax a little more, spend more time at the stops, and just enjoy the scenery.

Here are some pics... More to follow tonight, when I upload from the camera.

Looks too GD hot for me, but yet I want to get West some day soon

Wasn't THAT bad... Hottest we saw was 100 and that was only in the valley, which we drove straight through! The rest of the time it was between 70-85F, with a fairly steady breeze all 3 days. The wind is the best I've ever experienced out there, dust was almost NEVER an issue!
