We left the cars
and the views from of Scottys castle behind And took in the view into Ubehebe crater, 1/2 a mile across and up to 777ft deep then headed south toward Furnace Creek, but on the way stopped at the Harmony Borax works Last edited by Kiwishooter; 10-16-2016 at 04:46 AM. |

It seems time and weather have taken its toll on the buildings
The view back toward the carpark (the Mustang was our wheels) quite a view And the view out to the valley, even though it was hot 118F it was quite plesant the wheels on those wagons are huge, well over 6 ft in dia Last edited by Kiwishooter; 10-16-2016 at 04:31 AM. |

After the Borax works it was Furnace Creek, Old Dinah, imagine running a steam engine in the heat of Death Valley
We found out these signs aren't just for laughs I marvelled at the new roads we had to drive on, and wondered if they had just sealed the dirt roads.........no from the information we found at Furnace Creek it seems they had had some floods and the lodge had been surrounded by water and the floods had washed away a lot of the roads. Because of the floods not all the roads had been repaired so we missed out on viewing the Artist Pallette and Dantes View Click on the link for a view of Lake Badwater in Feb 2005 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_...lley,_2005.jpg |

Ian, impressive places.
Kinda looks like you kids have been eating well since your visit here! Always thought I'd like to drive across Death Valley but, was told to never take the truck across it so I've never been there. Always thought it was 120miles across in all directions, these pics and the satellite view prove otherwise. Thank you for that. Have you been to the bottom of the big ditch?
