Mon. Oct. 28, 2013: Death Valley National Park

We pulled out of the Bishop KMart  parking lot one day later than planned.  It was a very comfortable and beautiful spot.

We decided to take the scenic route through Death Valley National Park

for the second leg of our journey to Las Vegas. 

We stopped early to enjoy the view from the top

before descending into the actual valley - sea level and below.  It was very windy - it blew the motor home around on the road, and when we stopped for lunch down below, be ate a few grains of sand with our lunch, but it was really amazing to see the vast expanse of desert.

 

Our final leg, after getting out of Death Valley was a short 2 hour drive into La Vegas.  More on that tomorrow.
