  Day 1


On day 1, after breakfast at the buffet and a group photo, we walk along the highway from Badwater. After completing 8 miles, we are taken back to the campground where we have a group site where  most of the walkers spend the night. Nearby is a swimming pool and showers to cool down, and at the campsite we have foot bathes and reflexologist, and a pasta dinner. Then for those who want to participate, we have a candle lighting ceremony where we read the names of our loved ones from a scroll that we take turns carrying while walking, and light a candle in their honor or remembrance.

Day 2
The next morning we are bussed back to the 8-mile mark and we walk the remaining miles back to Furnace Creek. At the Furnace Creek Resort, we sit around the pool sharing our stories and tending our blisters and once all the walkers are in we have a hamburger and hot dog BBQ.  Even though the walk is over, the feeling of accomplishment stays and being a part of something special remains.
