Death Valley Crossing

Hi all
Yesterday started with a great sunrise over Owens Lake and valley.

And it is always enjoyable to watch the sunshine come down the mountain.
Also catching our nearest neighbor before they left.

Got packed up and headed for Death Valley.
Only about a 130 mile day, but lots and lots of ups and downs.
From 5000 feet to -100 feet in one day.
Three time over 4000 feet and twice at 5000.
Steep grades and tight corners made for a few "white knuckle" moments.
Our first view, this trip, of Death Valley Nat Park and first time from the west.

Miles and miles of straight roads in the valley.

Stopped in Stovepipe Wells for lunch and a bit of a rest.
Then made it to Pahrump, NV before 3 PM.
All checked in and relaxed in the 65° afternoon, sitting outside watching the other campers.
Nice RV Park with activities and amenities.
Such a change after dry camping and boon-docking.

This morning we had the free waffles for breakfast, provided by the park.
The rest of today we will be getting laundry, cleaning and truck wash done.

Make your day great
Tom and Millie
