Re: Racetrack at 10mm | |
Good one Fred, I look to return to the Racetrack Playa with my 17 TSE. I only had a 24 TSE during my last visit. It seems as though you are low enough to use more than \"a small tilt\" but perhaps the height of the rock was a compromising tilt consideration.
When I was last there I met a professor studying how the rocks make tracks on the Death Valley Racetrack. I explained his theories about ice collars or ice patches lifting the rocks up and then being blown about the playa in a strong wind. Also some of the evidence of why this seems like the most likely explanation consistent with his detailed observations.
