We really want to spend a little time in Death Valley NP today as we drive through it and we still have lots of miles to do to get to Mission, Texas in two weeks time. This is something that will have to wait for another visit along with a number of other things. This whole area needs at least a month or more to explore properly.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-21370439557832730442018-11-15T11:32:32.893-05:002018-11-15T11:32:32.893-05:00It is a beautiful area.

Lots of hiking out there for us to do and lots of free overnight boondocking places to be had. :-)<br /><br />I think we now have had the last of the really cold nights. We are just so happy that it is warm during the day and no rain to be seen. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-88742601333993479502018-11-15T11:26:29.414-05:002018-11-15T11:26:29.414-05:00It was too cold really but we toughed it out.
