March 4, - 20, 2008

In an effort to catch up with myself, I am going to post pictures from our trip to Death Valley all under this one title.



Tin Mountain



Jim and Pam at the lowest spot in the Western Hemisphere - I started to grow gills.



This is called "Badwater", not because it is poison but because it is so full of salt that the horses wouldn't drink it.




This is a school field trip. They were leaving as we were arriving and I was pleased!



This is a salt flat. Just under this thin crust of dried salt is moisture. It is really fascinating.



What can I say? It's the desert, not the beach!



Gretchen on the "Natural Bridge" Which, by the way, has a BIG crack in it.



Tin Mountain as viewed from the Natural Bridge.



Gretchen and Brian at "Devil's Golf Course", a really tough place to hike.



Another cool mountain shot!



This was parked in front of the lodge where we stayed at Stovepipe Wells.



A footprint in the sand.



Dunes in the distance.



A hidey hole for a desert beastie!



Dreamin' on the Dunes!!



Another desert creature.
