Wow, Dave, did you know that they close down DVNP after Easter for the rest of the summer? It can reach +125F or higher at Easter so be prepared with lots of water. I loved to visit Bodie and Scottie's Castle. I lived in Barstow 1971-1976. The desert was my playground with my old 66 GMC suburban V6.
But been there, done that, and don't miss it! ;-) GL on the sats! 73, Ed - KL7UW At 09:13 AM 4/21/2011, David Palmer wrote: >Hi Everyone, > >Early next week (April 25th) I'll be taking my brother on a tour of >the remote backroads of Death Valley National Park, and I'll bring my >portable satellite station along.
