After the morning shoot and after breakfast, friend and fellow photographer Robert Mance<\/a> and I headed out in search of more water for sunset. We decided to head down towards Badwater Basin<\/a>, the lowest point in North America. Instead of going to the main parking lot area, we headed down the West Side Road to see what could be found on the west side of the basin, where neither of us had ever been before.<\/p>\n

Here are some pictures from what we found.<\/p>\n

This patch of water was quite large. In fact according to my GPS it is part of Salt Creek, although the water is way too salty here to support the Death Valley Pupfish<\/a>. A strange car load of people stopped and asked Robert if we saw any fish here. The main Salt Creek area was closed due to muddy roads although you could still get there on foot if you were willing to hike a few extra miles. Anyway, we were pleased with this location and decided to head back for Sunset.<\/p>\n
