I spent a fascinating 3 days in Death Valley 3 weeks ago, on a camping trip with my son's 5th grade class. The Rangers were great, and we were taught a lot of cool stuff about Geology, Astronomy, and survival (pup fish). Trying to keep track of 45 kids, with only 4 dads, 2 teachers and the school nurse proved to be almost too much at times, though.
