Death Valley

The kids are gone, on their way back home. I had an acute case of kid overdose but loved seeing them again. We will miss them until we get another overdose.
Yesterday we brought the trailer here to prepare for a short trip to Death Valley. We leave this afternoon and will spend a night on the road. We hope to arrive there early afternoon tomorrow. It has been 2 years since we were there last. We had about 1 1/2 days there then. This will not be a lot more, but last time we slept in Lone Pine (> 100 miles away), this time out trailer will be parked at Furnace Creek so we can spend more time enjoying ourselves.
Last trip was a few months before I started shooting large format and my vision has changed quite a bit since then. It will be interesting to see how I perceive it now. Returning to places a few years later often is a very good way for you to see the differences in your vision and to mark your growth.
We have quite a bit more prep to do before we can pull out but we hope to leave here around noon.
I am looking forward to Rhyolite, Titus Canyon, Devils Haystacks, Artists Palette, and DUNES!!!
