Pictures from our trip Part 1

I'm not going chronologically. Starting with Monday afternoon - Wednesday morning, where we stayed in Death Valley, here's the Furnace Creek Ranch. For some reason pictures show up darker in the blog than they do when I'm just looking at them on my computer, so I'm not sure if you can read the sign over the entrance (above) - it just says Furnace Creek Ranch. There's a Furnace Creek Ranch and a Furnace Creek Inn in Death Valley National Park. And a campground.



This last picture is at the AMI welcome dinner in the "Date Grove". Furnace Creek is an oasis in the desert that is Death Valley; and once somebody planted date palms and tried to have an export business selling "Death Valley Dates". It wasn't very successful apparently. Wonder if they held focus groups on that name....
