OFFICIAL : Death Valley 2013


Recommended Posts

Spoiler alert - posting random pictures ahead from the trip before the official report comes out. Want to thank Chuck for an excellent job planning and leading the trip. Lots of work behind the scene that made it safe and successful - can't say thank you enough for the great time my son and I had; everyone pitched in and made this a great family friendly trip.

 

Here are pictures of the group and Chuck spotting @ Lippincott Trail, and other points of interest @ Death Valley:

Made it home around 6 last night. Trip was amazing.

 

Got home to find out that the house sitter spilled coffee on my Notebook, so here are some un-procssed images from my work computer.. I will update them once/if I get my system back

 

I have had a chance to filter through the extras and have processed some images.

Two more pics...night shots

 

Pic 1 - Party NCLR style at Osborne Cabin

 

Pic 2 - What does a Camel Trophy look like at night? You can see the driving lights coming into the frame as I shot this image. Its the view from Stella's cabin looking towards Vegas. Vegas is about 100 miles away as the crow flies, but is bright enough to create an orange glow in the sky during a 10 minute exposure.

those are some awesome shots Sean, well done! (and I'm not just talking about the CT ones either, all of them look great!)

 

Had a fun day today, Shayne helped me (read did it) wire up a relay so that my AC fan comes on when the water temp gets over 210 (or what ever it is set at) and when the AC is turned on. Also, replaced the copper washers on the spill rail until...snapped a banjo bolt oh yay. so those will be ordered tomorrow.

A bypass fan relay is great cheap insurance!

 

Ya those banjo's are very small.. Might of cracked a while back which could of started the leak. Sorry I forgot to leave some with you after we looked at it in DV.. You should order 2 or 3 of them with plenty of washers since they are on the Ch$ap.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing all of the GoPro footage that we have

Hijack-On

 

Chris, Are Shayne & Sandra still in town? I'd like to have them over at Mexxi's before they leave if possible.

May be others can join too. I was sorry to miss everyone at the MoM this past Sat.

Here's a sunrise time lapse from Osborne Cabin. It's kinda boring with just the mountain (the cabin was in shadow this early in the day), but it's cool to see the color change right at the beginning.
