BTW way to go Goose
I am thinking about leading a cruise to Death Valley for U4WDA. I have been going there since 1966 but do not have a vehicle now that would do Surprise or Echo. When I get things organized will post to RME. The time frame would be Feb. 11 to 16 over the Presidents Holiday which is the 15th.

I don't think I've ever been in the Feb months - isn't that the wet time? I've always gone in Oct around the 11-15th'ish and the weather is great. Pretty much 80's all the time. I've always stayed up at Stove Pipe Wells and several times I've seen some nasty sand storms come up down in the valley that would just clobber the resort area...

But either way, I'm down

Yes Surprise is closed at the first falls. You can hike in to Panamint City, which is a real ghost town, from there. Just trying to work up some interest and ideas. Echo was still open the last time I checked in 2008. I am checking with the Death Valley office and CA4WDC. Cal 4 had there
Panamint Valley Days run Nov. 13 - 15 this year.
