Although Death Valley is somewhat isolated, I'm not sure that alone justifies the prices they were quoting for gas, diesel or food in the local market.
The, near Olympic size pool, at Furnace Creek
is completely devoid of chlorine or other man-made chemicals. This is a mineral spring fed water and flushed 4 times a day naturally, it's like swimming in "silk"
One of the coolest old refurbished RV's I have seen this year. I would of loved seeing the inside but couldn't bring myself to ask. This is an early 1950's Flixible.
A group of wild mustangs just outside the park were spotted one day while driving to Ash Meadows. This group of 6 mustangs with a newly born colt are giving some support of food and water at Death valley Junction.
The week before the big "49'er Days" started there was no shortage of entertainment nightly in the campground.
What I'd give to have Hanks fingers and musical beat, he was really very good but he was also the only musician would did not sing...man's got to know his limits, right?
Bret was outstanding as a drummer and looked just like a "parrothead".
I wouldn't categorize this as anything special...most nights looked like the above.
Sign says it all...20 miles outside the park.
See, even a forest of one, has a fall coloring.
Just past Dante's View on Hwy 190 is a slab city from a mining town of years ago. I talked to the local historian, ranger and internet search but still am no sure who or why the town was built.
These 20 or more slabs of cement were most likely the foundation for trailers or mobile homes of a mining community. The former town also had a swimming pool, hall, sewage treatment and water system...but still no one knows the who or why it is there.
