Our support vehicle, all packed and loaded, moments before taking off	Intermezzo in Yosemite: rock hoppin'	More rock hopping	Sea level, up there.	Badwater, 7pm. It was 110 F (43 C) at that point. Slowly it started to cool down.
Badwater. Ready for takeoff...		Furnace Creek - our first stop, featuring a beautiful sunset, as well as a moonrise	The first climb. A monster. Steep, headwind, dark, neverending.	Morning glory in the Panamint Range
The Panamint Range behind us	The second climb. Slightly less steep, but longer		Death Valley vista	Being creative in finding some shade
Lone Pine, August 19; 120 miles and 10000 vertical feet after our departure	Whitney Portal, August 20, early in the morning	The first stretches of the Mount Whitney trail	Sunrise in the Sierra's	Franz over the log bridge
Entering the zone	Lone Pine lake	Rachel and Maggie on the trail	Marmots were scavenging the Trail Camp area
