death valley 22-26 may 2004: field work w/ kurt and stephanie

	view of the salt flats from copper canyon; i nearly sprained my crotch climbing for this shot
	looking towards nevada from greenwater canyon
	kilns used to produce charcoal. they were only used for 3 years and they look like they're from one of jupiter's moons
	sand dunes at stovepipe wells. we were enjoying some great junk food at the time
	view of the badwater salt flats from telescope peak (11000 ft). the relief from this peak to badwater is surpassed in only 3 other places in north america!
	view of the crew at telescope peak towards the west (panamint valley behind us). stephanie is smiling most because she just farted.
	view of the crew at telescope peak towards the east (death valley behind us).

death valley 14-16 may 2004: ucla field trip

	morning view from white mountain research station in bishop in the owens valley, looking west towards the eastern side of the sierra nevada mtns
	geometry of the cracked mud at the racetrack playa, nestled between the last chance range and the cottonwood mtns
	view to the northwest from the racetrack floor with the cottonwood mountains in the background
	2 rocks that appear to be racing on the racetrack. most suspect that these rocks move and form tracks when the playa floods and winds sweep across the playa.
	view of the badwater salt flats from dante's view. the lowest point in the western hemisphere is roughly in the middle of these flats.
