The warmest place on the planet is some 200 miles away, so we decide to go for it. Death Valley. We get fresh supplies, and buy our first bag of ice since Oregon.
And this is us.
Too bad the high lift was buried under all of our stuff. Curt made quick work of the flat, and we are on our way to camp at Stovepipe Wells.
Just south of Bishop, CA we made a left turn into the desert and passed an ominous sign 'next services 126 miles'. The tunes are blaring and we are having fun with the camera and the fresh sights. Almost exactly 63 miles later, this is the view behind us.
This is where we are going.
And this is us. Too bad the high lift was buried under all of our stuff. Curt made quick work of the flat, and we are on our way to camp at Stovepipe Wells.We were successfull on two accounts. First, it is warm. Secondly, we adjusted our perception and made the ugliest campground seem better when we turned the other direction.
That night, we explored the nearby sand dunes under the moonlight. It was awesome. We slept in t-shirts. Overnight low was 74 degrees.
