I and my family will be in Death Valley from March 25th-28th. We plan to
camp out in out tents and hike into some of the more remote areas. I will
report back after we return.

I've just returned from Death Valley. Everybody in the world was there on
the roads, but yesterday I walked 6 miles along a dry wash and saw more than
60 species in flower, and not a single person the whole morning. It was well
worth going, and I even found a motel in the grim little town of Beatty,
less than an hour from the park. Almost no one was walking more than 50
meters from the roads, and where I was I couldn't even hear any RVs on the
roads. 

However, not a single bulb spotted -- thought there would at least be some
allium.

Apparently the flowering in Death Valley is making the national news. 
In tomorrow's NBC national evening news (comes on at 6:30 pm here in 
L.A.), they're going to show some scenes of the flowers in Death 
Valley.
