Death Valley 2022/23

[Beardilocks]

Are you going to make the hike out to the epsom salt mines / crystal hills? Did that one years ago and would like to revisit.

It was fully my intention to hike to the monorail.  But I got my first blister in 20yrs for some strange reason and with this last storm approaching (hike to LL was on the 30th) and threatening .5-.75” of rain in Baker, I decided to head out while I could.  

Definitely not my last trek out to the Owlsheads though.  I would love to through hike from that monorail/Crystal Hills out to West Side Rd via Wingate Wash someday.  Or across LL and out through that pass.
