Saturday

Our last full day here.

Today is the first day in more than a week we've had some clouds. So instead of the high eighties to 90 we're in the low 80s today. Still not bad of course!

Today we drove to the south end of the valley and hiked Willow Canyon which is the canyon with the spring that we found a few years ago. But I guess in the fall the spring is dried up so there was no water at all. About a five mile round trip and we had the entire area to ourselves so it was a good day. Made even better by two cold beers waiting for us in the car and then a stop at the Furnace Creek Inn for gin and tonics again.

Tomorrow we leave for A 3 day drive home probably spending the night somewhere south of Reno or maybe all the way to Reno. There is a weather alert for a storm system coming in Tuesday night that will drop snow in the Sierra Nevada mountains but we will be home by then.
