Timber and I were supposed to go to Death Valley this past weekend but something happened along the way to prevent us from going. On Thursday my truck battery got drained, most likely by me leaving my lights on, and afterward I wasn't sure if that was the cause, if it was an alternator problem, of if there was some other short in my electrical system. So we decided to play it safe and not go to Death Valley this weekend and give my truck time to run reliably for a few weeks before heading out to one of the most remote places in the lower 48. Thus far it looks like leaving my lights on was the culprit. But this way we get to refine our itenerary and finish reading a good book about the geology of Death Valley.
