Yesterday was scenic with its variety of landscapes from the
twisting mountain roads to the straight 100 mile long road with turns off it
dentoted only by signs like “Road 431” then today was a real stunner.
Climbing the mountains again with the lush green hills of California, then down into death valley and
a complete alien landscape of rocks and hills and valleys.Death Valley has been
on my list for years but I have never been there at the right time of year for
it to be practical. Even in March it was 31C, the mountains and the temperature
differences mean that a strong wind blows most of the time, rattling the RV as
we tried to sleep. The wind stopped briefly when it started to rain in the
night but by daylight it was blowing a gale again.
The first valley is not death valley as such, just put in your way to confuse you and ready you for the views to come.
