XXX drive in any time you are down in Seattle area.

This will be our second trip to Death Valley. They said that they could use Ridgeline as a tow vehicle but the elements as so capable that i doubt that would be necessary. Last year we got as far as China Lake, and then an infection from a tooth root canal sent us home before the outing. Long way to go for a tooth infection.
Come join us this year, 3 days driving down and 3 days back, plus a side to trip to Vegas, we could do a convoy and you could escape you winter chores. Stay in touch, best wishes, Bill
