26 degrees inside the trailer this morning!
|
She slept like that! Good idea!

Lynda make hot Latte in the morning
|
It's up to 40 degrees in the sun (for a few minutes)
|
We camped off of 190 not far from Saline Valley Road
|
Gas was $4.49 in Panimint Springs, but I can't really blame them. They are the only gas (or anything) for miles.
|
Cozy place for breakfast in the Panamint Springs resort

We re-named this area "Lynda Falls"

Luckily Tom was prepared with an extensive First Aid kit
|
Apply direct pressure

It's easy to stumble on the rocks

Even though he took care it ot well. Tom drove her to Bishop Hosptial for stiches, so it will look nice.

Talc close up
|
|
This is the most amazing gate I've seen. There is another gate a few dozen yards ahead. a thin ordinary one which is still standing & closed.
|
That pole on the ground slides through the bottom of the verticals to lock it in place.
|
I really have to wonder WHY someone wanted this road blocked so badly. Doesn't look like official work to me.
|
Someone has already cut off 4 of those big pipes! ANd the gate is down btw. So it didn't work.
|
Tom & Lynda return to camp
