Death Valley National Park Trip 2007

29/12/2007

So this past weekend 2 brave souls and I decided to take a trip to Death Valley NP. I was living in my tent for 4 days :P…

I was told that it was going to be FREEEEZIIIINNNG!!! When we arrived it was pretty cold, I’d say mid low 30’s. Wasn’t too bad actually, I expected it to be colder. After setting up my tent i started taking photos of the floor like a weirdo that i am by other peoples standards…and oh man! I feel in love with the textures all around the ground… Tree textures by the tent.. Tree texture by my tent in Death Valley NP

After snooping around the campsite we went over to the Borax Mines pretty nice there too! Wagon in Borax Mines… Wagon at Borax Mine In Death Valley NP
