Death Valley looks to be at least 100 miles farther than Red Rock, and is
in the worst possible location as it is "behind" the Sierras, which is bad
for the Bay area people, and is a long drive from Southern Cal as well.
I have not been to Death Valley so I can't comment on its appropriatness
for the next pre-tour.  The distances don't look good, though...
