Death Valley: getting there and Scotty's Castle

At the beginning of March we took a road trip to Death Valley.

Somewhere in the desert.

We saw a big pipe off the road and stopped to investigate. Funny how the road showed up on our GPS unit, even though it was nothing more than a graded trail.

Must not be a terrorist target. We kept expecting black helicopters to warn us off.

Overlooking Scotty's Castle. Very nice classic Spanish digs.
