Our Day in Death Valley.

Great waking up. Our bedroom is super comfortable. I’ll explain our gear sooner or later.

After actually entering the park and fixing a stove issue, we walked out into the bad water area, the lowest point in North America, where we met Patti and a couple from Quebec eating chocolate fondue out of a can in the blazing sun sitting in chairs.

2 facts: gas is going to be more than I was guessing at this rate; and the umbrella is a great asset.

The land is a showcase of angles, textures, colors, shadow and temperature and changes in distance change everything.

I never gave much thought to the park’s name. This place must have been one tough crossing in a wagon. Last chance hills and other markers clearly came from experience.

The bikes are getting cooked and I believe I can hear the tubeless stuff drying out. Folks it is hot and dry. Keep that between us ok?

We stayed at Mesquite Campground ground and took advantage of the facilities; it was great to wash my hair.

Good night and sweet dreams.
