Death Valley
During my drive out to Monterey, I decided to make a detour through Death Valley. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I'm already thinking about planning a week long trip so I can really explore the whole area. One day was not enough time to spend in Death Valley. I recommend everyone spending some time there. Anyways, here are some photos I took during my halfday/day excursion. I only wish I had gotten there earlier so the sun would not have been as high as it was while I was taking pictures.

Crazy guy built a mansion out there.

No, I stuck to the southern side and by the time I was done I was exhausted and still had to drive to Bakersfield that night to make my hotel reservation.

I agree, thanks for sharing! I'd like to visit there too; my parents were out there years ago for their honeymoon Originally Posted by TG_Bubba

Re: Death Valley
If you get a chance to get down to the area, another really cool place that I discovered in my youth is Calico Ghost Town, just south of DV. It's nothing spectacular, old silver mining town, but it's just a neat place to visit.

Cool pics non-the-less.

Re: Death Valley
Out of curiosity, what are you in Monterey for?
