Oct 27
Very windy this morning, first Generator started at exactly 8 am. The internet service that I found last night (Gossip Central – Furnace Creek) seems to be down this morning. Probably the wind.
Oct 28 – Nov 1
Very windy for three days, then it got calmer and hot. Music at night is back on and swimming at the hot springs. After the big wind more Solos started arriving, You are not allowed to save spaces at this campground but there was a great spot to have coffee till Marty arrived. (But we were NOT saving a space.)
Big convoy up Daylight Pass for Beatty Days, Fattening food, and parade, Booths with lots of rocks and stuff to sell (probably same ones will be here next week)
Stop at Rhyolite (ghost town)on the way back. Interesting spot, 1904 gold discovered by Shorty Harris and Ed Cross; in 1908 probably 10,000 lived here, by 1920 there were only 20 left Interesting museum run by a Belgian with lots of stories to tell. .Open Air Museum with interesting art.
Nov 1, rest and relax by pool, some went to Shoshone. Change of time. I think everyone has 7 am programmed into their generators. At that precise time the roar begins. I haven’t had to use mine yet, so thinking maybe next time will camp at Texas springs where they are not allowed. You can block out the noise with earplugs, but haven’t figured out how to block out the smell.
Happy Hour with the Albertans yesterday. Nice to spend time with Canadians lamenting the scarcity of puffed wheat and Robertson screws.
Nov 2 – 6
Nov 3, drove up Titus Canyon, now that was a trip not for the faint of heart. From Sea Level to 5000 ft and back down 2 or 3 times in 35 miles. One way very narrow winding road. Fantastic views for the passengers, unfortunately I was driving so had to stop in order to see them. Kept being told to keep my hands off the camera, and on the wheel ; and eyes on the road ahead. Every time I come to Death Valley the scenery amazes and enchants. Wish I could show it to the kids. Sunset at Zabriski Point last night...was fun to show it to people that hadn’t been there before.
Coyote Howl last night, lots of talent, Amateur Night, but some of those pickers and strummers were pretty good. Fellow on the harmonica made it sound like a full orchestra. Celebrated the 75th wedding anniversary of one couple in their nineties and still RVing.
Wagon trains arrive here today, and then the riders and antique cars. More music with breakfast this morning.
