    Las-Death Valley -Mammoth
    IMHO that's doable in one trip-Did that same thing a few years back.
    It's doable.

    But I was nodding off at the wheel by the end of it.

    I still had enough reaction to slam the brakes on as three mooses wandered out of the trees in front of the car too!

    Murphy - I know it is very busy but, unfortunately, I couldn't devote any more time to it. Anyway I can always come back :) I think this is like dipping my toes in to the water! Doc Burnstein's looks ace! Keep the foodie recommendations coming!!


    PeacefulWaters - my friend and I will share the driving, so should be fine.


    Blindman - I'll certainly be looking at Priceline and Hotwire. Itinerary is by no means fixed, though.

    Are you certain those 'mooses' weren't elk? :D
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    They're a good reminder to ensure you have collision damage excess waiver cover in place.
