Of course. This is the plan. I forgot to change it :)

I agree it isn't the best thing to do but we need to enter Death Valley as soon as possible on the second day of our trip because we don't want to camp there because of the temperatures. Do you think it's better for us to stay near the airport and just start the day in the middle of the night (around 4 am)?
