My son dragged me to Death Valley 2 years ago. it was December. It was winter there too. My sleeping bag had lost its loft. I froze the first night. The next day I walked across the street to the motel.

But we had an experience down there. His bike broke, and my foot gave me problems on the ride from Stovepipe Wells to Furnace Creek. After that we were driving and hoofing all the way.

Yeah, I missed out on the adventure part but learned a lot, like don't go in December or January.
