Artists Loop Drive, Death Valley☀day 1,prt4

 

Howdee all,

This the the fourth part of our first day in Death Valley…and I am loving it here!

I haven't posted up until now because I haven't had internet time..but hope to get some wifi today before we head off for some sight seeing today.

This is a beautiful drive we did the first day here.

We pulled off the first stop area and took a walk to see the views..People left their rock Cairn art here..

I dont know if it is appreciated by the park service…I know in some areas they are taken down.

death valley day 2_168  I enjoyed them and felt they fit in at this spot

death valley day 2_174  I certainly wouldn't want to see them all over the park..but here they added something..death valley day 2_172

from the view point looking east past the Cairns…

We drove to Furnace creek Inn to see if we could get some wifi…death valley day 2_207They had wifi..it wasn't free.. So we just enjoyed touring the Inn

A very nice place for those who wont be camping…death valley day 2_210

We have seen allot in the past few days…I have take a gazillion photos..and choosing just a few for posts will be difficult…

so prepare for posts with hundreds of photos…hee hee..

We leave here tomorrow and head to Quartzite..with an overnight stop at Mohave desert..

I am dreaming  of internet in Quartzite…don't know if it good enough to upload blog posts....if not I will get to them when in Tucson the following week.

We stopped at Stovepipe Wells a few times and Andrew and I were able to use our I touch to download email ….I have this great app where I can download 200 blog posts and read them offline with photos…Just cant comment offline..but at least I can catch up a bit on what everyone is doing and seeing.

Hope you are all doing well….I certainly miss chatting…and commenting on blogs via the internet….but….

such is life on the road…
