Day 124

Last day in Death Valley today, so we took the scenic route out. This is what's left of Ashford Mill: a mill built around 1910 to service a gold mine five miles away. One can only wonder why they chose this spot as it's miles from anywhere. It sure is a pretty spot though!

Day 123

You see the strangest things in the desert. I've been to Death Valley before, and these signs are so totally incongruous they're almost funny. It's hard to imagine that the hottest, driest place in the USA suffers from flooding, but apparently it's a problem sufficient to warrant signs.

Day 122

Nighttime in Tonapah, Nevada. The moon is almost full which is, for once, pretty annoying as it means that the stars don't come out quite as much. The upside however is that a long exposure can yield some pretty remarkable results. So, there we are, sitting on the road in the middle of the desert in the darkness.
