Going to Death Valley

In a few hours, I board a bus to go to Death Valley.  There will be all kinds of activities including taking a dip in Hot Springs, sand skiing and of course, hiking.  The unique opportunity in this trip is the hiking, since many parts of Death Valley are inaccessible to hiking during the hot months of the year.  I hope to see some bloomage, scorpions and whatever wildlife presents itself.  I imagine that I will meet some pretty cool people on this trip.  I will post more on Monday.
