Other than the vehicular carnage, that looks like a great trip!

Great write up and pics. The photos of Dedeckera Canyon make me even more weary about trying it out. Not sure how I would fare on those rocky sections. Were there any other people at the dunes other than your group?

Reading all these Death Valley trips us killing me. I can't wait to get out there and explore one of these days.

Great report!

So what happened to the trail trailer? You said it lost the axle... was it a weld or hardware failure?

Thanks for the trip report. :smiley_drive:

Both. One of the leaf springs broke at the eye. One of the plate/bolt sets that connects the axle to the springs vanished. We took apart the jack and used that hardware to connect the axle to the spring and welded the broken spring eye.

There were 5 or 6 other campers at the dunes besides our group.

So this is where I read Doug's report. Very nice Doug.

Mike, Why do you need a welder when you got me?

Your welder has come in handy many times chuck
