I have just come back from a 1 week stay with my classmates at Death Valley. I must say, the hikes were excruciating, but it was pretty decent. during my past 5 day stay there, three days were filled with ambulances as a virus spread through our cabins. nearly half of our total class was sick, altough that did not include me. Only one went to the hospital and I am so glad to be back.

I have tasted the ground of the lowest point in America, and it tastes salty..
