Finally I'm able to blog again!!!! Between poor internet conections and just being busy and Sharron trying to stay on top of her work, well it couldn't be done.
Anyway here we are in Lakeview, Or. (Tuesday Oct 9th) on our way back home.
How ever I have to back track a bit. This photo was taken on the road at the entrance to the Pandamint Valley just before we entered Death Valley. We picked up another couple in Ridgecrest Cal. They're friends of Sharron and I, Jim and Karren O'Connor.
Damn but it was hot.
The gals had to have a photo taken at the Death Valley entrance sign.
Did I mention it was hot in the desert that day.
We stayed at Furnace Creek that night. They sure called it right.
The next morning we went to Scotties Castle in Death Valley. What and amazing house out in the middle of no where.
This is an example of the interior of the house.
After Scotties Caslte we went back to Furnace Creek because it was too hot.
Did I say it was Hot. When we left in the morning for the castle it was a cool 92 F. (9am) when we got back arounf 2 pm it was over 110 F so we quit for the day.
The following morning we went to Badwater Basin which is 282 feet below sea level. )Not too hot yet.)
I thought I would take a photo of the only water in the desert. This water has no place to drain so it has to evaporate and this is all that is left from the last rain. The lake or salt bed is over a mile wide and I don't know how long it is.
Double click this or any photo to see a larger copy of the photo.
From Badwater Basin we went to Artist's Palett were the rocks show an amazing range of colors.
The road into the "Artists Palett" Was only one lane wide and was very very twisty. s can be seen in this and the next photo.
Can anyone guess the make of this interesting Motor Bike we found?????
