Day 25, As It Is Happening, rest stop on way to Death Valley

Our first rest stop of the day. I just passed a sign for the Berlin Ichthyosaur State Park in Nevada, probably only 50 miles to the east, through that pass in the distant mountain. One of my 10 best campsites ever. I debated for 15 minutes whether to bivouac there for the night and delay arriving at Death Valley. I decided to move on. The one night we spent there in 2016 will have to remain a memory. And oh what a memory.
