Hi All,
So close but so far....Sorry we missed you, sounds like a guys had fun. But we still had a good time too. Like Ridgeline mentioned Ryan bagged his first summit. That was worth the trip in itself. the ride in was a good time too. I think we came in through Jackass Canyon. The 4x4 came in handy.
Here's some pictures: http://outdoors.webshots.com/album/556063935Oliwbw
Take care.

you don't know how close - if you had turned right at teakettle junction - and driven less than 2 miles up the road you would have found camp.

my pictures are uploading now - will add captions probably tomorrow

Doug! Nice photos- loved the movie! You aimed the camera right at our camp in your 360 from Teakettle and we were right through there on our way back from the Corridor (TH at Ubehebe Lead Mine). We missed you by what seems to be minutes! argghhh! Congrats to Ryan on his first peak, very cool!

My pictures are done! The latest entry on my personal site (in sig) has the photos from our entire week in the desert - the last 2 bullets are Perdido Canyon and Corridor Canyon. I'm still cleaning up a few things, but everything should be up and labelled with basic info now.

great pictures everyone - looks like a great time to get into death valley - may do that for many years to come

used to say - so many peaks so little time
will have to make exceptions for good desert trekking
