Re: Racetrack, Death Valley Group Trip - October 4-6, 2013

Some news from the Death Valley Road Conditions Facebook page:

Re: Racetrack, Death Valley Group Trip - October 4-6, 2013

This trip is coming up so I thought I would give the post a bump in case anyone missed it who still wants to go. The morning report hasn't changed much with regards to our route except that there...
