This trip highlights a trip to Death Valley after a hurricane filled Lake Manly in Badwater Basin. Until this time it had not filled for 50 years. I took my son. The reason I took him was so that he could see one of two things in his future, the beginning of the refilling of Lake Manly, or never again to see water in this spot. It filled again two years later, so maybe it is the beginning of the filling of Lake Manly!
