Perry in Death Valley with LVMC

This was first real trip with LVMC since 2018, when I had the whiplash/dAVF/brain damage accident.  I knew I couldn't wake up early enough to meet at 5AM in Las Vegas, so I went out to DV the eve before to camp, met Jodie, and we chatted until sleet and snow sent us scurrying to our vehicles.  We got up early and met our LVMC buds at Dante's View the next day at 7AM.  I absent-mindedly put 2 insoles in each boot, so my toes were trashed by the end of the 9-mile Perry hike.
