ARCHIVES: Death Valley, Forty Years Ago

Starting to nibble around the edge of my old color slides. Not nearly as numerous as my black & white negatives, and stored in pretty much total disarray. Here is my phototog friend Bill, his truck, and friend Mike — the same crew that did Mexico — on a Death Valley weekend in December 1976.  In discussing this with Bill yesterday, he recalled our terrified screaming as we hurtled down a twisty road with the the smell of brake fluid in our noses.  And then we blew a head gasket.  On another trip, a cylinder cracked in a snow storm near Mammoth.
