Death Valley Furnace Creek, CA - March 2009 (Plus, Donation Opportunity)

[ScottSchmidt]

MISSION COMPLETE!

On Friday night my wife and I delivered the VAF donation to Sharon for the Death Valley Walk for Life.



Again, I cannot say how grateful she was for all the support from our group.
What a great success!

Summary of our delivery trip.
We left Salt Lake around 3pm and had a great flight down to Death Valley through Nevada. It was a nice day with clouds around 14,000 we cruised at 10,500.

Approaching Furnace Creek

After landing we walked into Furnace Creek. It is about a one mile walk. The temps were around 96 degrees.




We arrived a little early and had a quick bite to eat at the cafe while we waited to meet up with Sharon.
Here are a few pictures of the grounds around Furnace Creek. The last time we were here last month we didn't hang out in this area too much.

After delivering the picture we made our way back to the plane and had a great flight home. The tail winds were strong on the way back and most of the flight was over 200 knots GS.

Thanks for all the support and by the way, we actually donated $1,220 thanks to a last minute donation.
