A year off from the annual MJC Death Valley Field Study in 2009 meant that Laura and I were chomping at the bit to get back on the road during our 2010 Presidential Holidays.  We volunteered as drivers for the trip again this year and since Laura is the 2009 NAGT Far West Teacher of the Year, she got to give a little spiel to the class on the hydrology of the park.  In all, thirty four people and five vans left for the five-day trip Death Valley to see some of the most diverse (and oldest) geology in the state of California.  Although recent storms closed most of the higher “vantage point” roads in the park we did get to see many rarities, such as the Amargosa River flowing and lots of water in Lake Manley.  To see all of the trip stops, click the Google Earth File button to download & view.  Enjoy!
