Alternative Geodesy class excursion to Death Valley

Visiting the lowest point on the continent.

The Badwater Basin in Death Valley is the primary destination for this trip, which will combine some practical field experiments with general sightseeing. Please gather early in the parking lot to the east of the Computer Center to allow a prompt departure at 7:30 AM on Friday. We hope to be back there no later than 7:30 PM on Monday, and some people could be dropped off earlier if this doesn't involve detours from a convenient route. Remember that at this time of year Death Valley can be much cooler and possibly wetter than the notorious conditions there during the summer, so bring appropriate clothing.
