Death Valley

Met my parents in Death Valley on Friday the 13th for a fun weekend. Wandered around a bit, gawked at the stunning scenery, had some great meals, and enjoyed the company.

Weeeeee...heading to dinner. The Borax Museum...yes there is one.

The backyard of the museum.

Death Valley Museum

Smelling the creosote.

Salt Creek Trail. I tasted it (peer pressure), definately salty.

Grandpa, Grandma, Clara, Sammy, and Dan on the boardwalk.

Scotty's Castle

A completely random and very remote castle just north of Death Valley.
Wishing well that was 2 ft deep and sprinkled with coins and trash-kids still loved it.

The courtyard

Clara didn't quite make it through the tour...nice drool.

The entry/living room

The Watch Tower

Grandma and Sammy going for a stroll.

This coyote was sitting in the middle of the road. I took a picture out the car window as we drove past.

You mess with the bull...

About to say goodbye.

Ugh...horizontal stripes.

The sand dunes at sunset.

Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us join you...we had a great time.
