TTORA Death Valley Trip

A few picts from a 3 day TTORA trip I organized to Death Valley. We went through Hunter Mountain and Hidden Valley, and camped the first night in Racetrack Valley. The 2nd day we went down Lipponcott canyon and into Saline Valley, and camped at the Saline Valley Hot springs. The third day we drove out the north pass of Saline Valley and through Marble Canyon.

We had a total of 21 trucks, 20 of which were Tacoma's. My picts are limited for this trip since I was leading the run and trying to keep everything and everybody together.. This ended up being a great trip except for the heat on Sunday..
