My wife and I went to Death Valley over the MLK holiday as a last minute.
Sorry, wagga.
Hey, Bulldog34, we stayed at Texas Springs along with giga group of Boy Scouts! Site 35. Thought we would have the whole place to ourselves...NOT!
We witnessed first-time events on Monday, January 18, 2010:
It rained in Death Valley. Sprinkled on us as we broke camp at 7:30 am. What a view of the storm clouds.
Rained on us as we neared Panamint Springs. Windy.
We drove through rain over the Panamints and Inyos and into Lone Pine. Windy.
It rained in Lone Pine as we stopped to dine at the High Sierra Cafe. (There is Subway in Lone Pine!). Windy. Saw Doug working on a drain pipe at the Hostel.
It rained from Lone Pine to Bakersfield. Very windy over the Tehachapis
Eucalyptus limbs over the 99 North. Rain, too. The rain broke near Kingsburg.
Again, the above events were firsts for us. Usually we are in Owens Valley during the summer and fall.
Torrential downpour near Fuggowhee (aka Coarsegold) with lightning as we got home around 3:30 p.m.
AWESOME! More on the way...
