Joerg and Elke and I have a fun desert chat for a good half hour; they visit Death Valley frequently and are on their way home

I guess it was colder last night than I thought. I'll save this bottle of water for later. During my usual hotter weather trips, it would be mighty refreshing, but not right now thanks!

The water bottles in my tent had no ice in them this morning. I've been trying to make sure that my water bottles are never completely full at night, just in case the water freezes and expands.
