some DV trip photos

clownmidget · 03-15-05, 12:58 PM

Thought I'd post some quick photos of the awesome NorCal 80s trip to DV this past weekend organized by Andy. I'm sure they'll be more, better pics but here are some "teasers".

First one is Roger's Pass overlooking Striped Butte and the road over Mengel Pass.

Second one is at Mengel Pass.

Desert Five-spot, also called Lantern Flower.

Sweat pictures Mike. I've been planning on a Death Valley trip for some time; sorry I missed that one... Best to get out there soon before things really heat up.
