experiencing "bonking". I remember my experience on Kings Peak and it sounds similar to what you were going through. Snicker salvation, for sure. Nice report and be sure to replace that Snickers bar, just in case you need it some time in the future.
had time to visit the amazing Mojave-Death Valley area. I suppose you just needed some "quick energy." Hey, it happens to everybody. Snickers is a favorite treat in outdoor circles, and in some cases it can SAVE your life!!! Very quick thinking, Dennis! And .... GREAT pictures to boot! - LARRY
700 miles back home? I guess I'll have to stop complaining about my drive back home to Bakersfield. I was in Death Valley this same weekend. Just can't get enough. The more you look for the more you find. I still have to do Pyramid Peak.

Re: Aha, you sir wereI will never hike without a Snickers again. It saved a great hike. Better than a rope anyday.
