This is a selection of pictures from the Death Valley Loop, 16-20 February 2001.
To learn more about the Green Tortoise bus, visit their
web page.

You can find more photos of this specific trip, plus a nice written account (which I'm too lazy to bother doing) at Jason Witcher's page.

If you want to take copies of any of these pictures for your own use (ie not for publication or for handing out to all your mates), please email me to let me know which ones you've copied. I'll even email you a higher quality version if you ask nicely...
