On a sobering note:
Once a year, every February, EOC camping fools do thier annual Death Valley Camping Trip.
Winter is the safest time to visit DV but even then, being unprepared in Death Valley can get you killed.
We would never attempt a camping trip to DV during the summer but some people do and the results can be tragic.
Last week an 11 yr old boy succumed to the hostile elements of Death Valley while on an overnight camping trip with his mom and pet dog.
They obviously had no idea what they were getting themselves into and it cost a young boy his life.
This is the 3rd fatality in Death Valley National Park this year.
Here's the sad story: http://www.lvrj.com/news/52756377.html
