Hi All,
We started the day at sunrise at Zabriski Point. Unfortunately, since we changed the clocks Sat night, we were up at 5:30 for sunrise. So much for getting an extra hour ;-).
Definitely worth getting up early
After breakfast back at the coach, we drove 60 miles north to Scotty's Castle. This place was built in the early 20's as the winter home of a very wealthy Chicago Banker. The complex is at 3,000 feet elevation, adjacent to a 300 gallon per minute fresh water spring.
Spanish colonial style inside and out.
Quite the gun collection
This huge cottonwood grows near the spring
Next stop was Ubehebe Crater formed 2,000 years ago by a volcanic steam explosion.
Mesquite Dunes came next. Miles of sand dunes loaded with critter tracks.
A great day.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
