Death Valley after the "hundred year rains."
I begin the hike in Death Valley in my usual attire: Capri Nike pants, my World Figure Skating cap, Polo Ralph shirt, Ecco slides and Chanel sunglasses. As I arrange myself and dubiously peer at what we're about to do, Tim surveys me and shakes his head.
"It's known as Nail Breaker Canyon," he says. "Are you sure you're up to it?"

Hi Cammy!
Yes, we saw Scotty's Castle, did some 4-wheeling, stayed at a park across from a house of ill-repute housed in a pink double wide (you know you're in a s...hole when the town's population is lower than its elevation -- and you're in Death Valley) and did some soaking in a hot spring.

You guys are so lucky to be doing this. Dave and I have fantasized about something like that, for us a boat, for years. But, it takes a lot more guts than we apparently have to do it! so, enjoy, enjoy and we'll have to settel for vicarious thrilss.

That's Tim's newest insane fantasy:
We'll live on a boat and travel for a year. I think I'll call that blog, "Leave the Tacking to Him."
