This will be my third trip to death valley, but the first in the context of any sort of race. I went through some of the photos I shot on my first two trips, and thought I'd share some of them here.
Photos from April 2005 road trip:
 |
| Look ma, I'm hot! (it was actually only 105F) |
 |
| Pahrump, NV - halfway between Las Vegas and Death Valley |
 |
| Leaving Shoshone, CA |
 |
| Somewhere between Shoshone and Badwater |
 |
| Salt flats |
 |
| The sign 275 feet above the road says, "Sea Level" |
 |
| Yes, there is water at Badwater |
 |
| Closer look at the water. Don't drink it. |
 |
| ~10 miles from the start of the race |
 |
| Furnace Creek. Gas ain't cheap in the middle of nowhere |
Photos from September 2004 road trip:
(probably before I ever heard of the badwater ultra)
 |
| Thermometer in the Shade. In September. After 5PM. |
 |
| Ravens hold their mouths open, presumably to dissipate heat. |
 |
| Sand Dunes outside Stovepipe Wells |
 |
| Sand |
 |
| My understanding of Tony's darkest moment in 2009 is probably near where I shot this. |
 |
| Panamint Valley |
 |
| Father Crowley Point |
 |
| Exciting point in the race - the right turn onto 395 going into Lone Pine |
 |
| Whitney Portal Road, Lone Pine |
 |
| Mt Whitney |
