Death Valley


We drove over to California the way some early settlers did, approaching out of Nevada to try and find shortcuts to the 49 gold rush. Most of them didn't make it across this barren desert and as the remaining wagon left they said "glad to make it out of that valley of death". The name stuck but on Thanksgiving weekend death valley was actually a pretty pleasant e from Las Vegas.

The old church steeple here has a prospector and his mule for a weathervane.
