We left our campsite at first light to have breakfast at our first stop. Golden Canyon provided us with a
short 2.25 mile round trip walk. Enjoyable while it was still cool and we had it all to ourselves until we were almost out of it.

Glorious time to visit Death Valley National
Park; I wouldn’t dream of coming here in summer at any cost. We stopped to see the Badwater area only to find
out that the road beyond was closed to flooding. Somewhere there had to have been rain but it
surely wasn’t here; they say it doesn’t take much. I can see why because there are run offs and washes everywhere around
here. This rock, rock dust, nothing much
looks like dirt…just doesn’t hold/absorb water.
We had to reroute our way out of Death Valley and David assured me we
had enough gas to make to it Pahrump (cheap gas). Gas in Death Valley $4.97; Gas in Pahrump
$3.22.
Pahrump…shopping at Walmart. Golden Nugget Casino for Two for One Buffet…cost
$13.00 with tip. Gambling in the casino
$1.00 plus the $6.00 free they gave us for getting a players card. Penny slots…oh yeah. I never win anything at these things. David has some better luck than I do. We dreamed of paying for dinner. I don’t think that was asking a lot but alas,
it was not to be!
