Day 8: Jan 5, 2003
Vegas to Death Valley (234mi)



Today I rode to Death Valley and camped at a popular campsite there. Again, not as fun as my first night freezing in isolation, but better than listening to the train and highway traffic at Stalton Sea. The geography in Death Valley National Park is amazing. I read a book that said it's like seeing the Earth without clothes.
