Our last night in Death Valley. We bought WiFi access for 24 hours yesterday so we're using it up now. Runs out at 8 PM. The Edge cell signal is hit and miss for data at our campsite. The weather has finally been calm the last two days. There was more wind prior to that than we would care for. But it has been a grand trips. DV is a tough mistress - she can really knock you around but one must accept her as she is. (Except for the wind - that is miserable even for a desert rat like me.) I played golf for times, 4 x 9 holes so 36. Great the first day, poor the next two, and okay the final day today. Met some nice people at the course.
I really love this place because, 1) it's summer when Oregon can still be winter-ish, 2) it's very very dry warm (desert rat), 3) Furnace Creek has a cool name, 4) FC is a very nice resort that we can vicariously enjoy from the RV overflow parking lot, 5) the desert hiking, 6) the heat, 7) the great BBQ weather, 8) did I already mention the weather?, and, 9) beer tastes so good here. And to finish out the top ten list, 10) it's a great place to spend a week with your family.
Makin' Memories.
