    Big loss for TW.
    I messaged him on IG and can understand the why's. I learned a lot about reptiles from what he shared here. Oh and the trip reports were ok too. ;)

    Hey all!
    new(er) member here, mostly here just for this awesome Death Valley thread.

    My Tacoma hasn't been to DV yet, so I'll just have to share this pic of my other truck.

    DV15 002.jpg

    What's up @SIZZLE , I'm that weirdo you camped next to in Saline Valley. :)

    Finally got to explore Death Valley this past week, did not have my truck, but was on a Geological field trip with my college.
    Boy is this place awesome.

    Camped in the calico for the first night and visited some geologic sites that day.

    Piscah Crater, inside of a lava tube:

    Finally to DVNP:

    And the beautiful views.

    I can’t wait to go back again, spend some more time and explore with my truck !

    I should post my pics I took there in ‘83 - over 300 shots on B&W film. Also did a bunch of mine surveys for the park in 2008, lots of digital pics of the underground workings we mapped and a few scenics. And there’s still so many places there I haven’t been! That place is just simply breathtakingly awesome.

    That is good history to have. Many places have lost access after it became a national park. I know I'm speaking for all here but it would be great to see. You should publish it.

    From reply's at another forum suggests that this F150 has been there as late as Jan 24th. Sadly it's still there and may have been vandalized..

    Any news about the owner?

    Why are people from Utah leaving things in Death Valley?
