Death Valley, October 2019We arrived on Wednesday, October 23 and left on Monday, October 28. As in November 2016, we stayed at the Atomic Inn in Beatty, Nevada, which served as a very satisfactory base of operations for our forays into DVNP itself. We were fortunate in enjoying the company of JoAnn Rees, who organized the expedition, and her sister Diana Howell, among others. We went on excursions to Titus Canyon, Marble Canyon, Monarch Canyon and Keane Wonder Mine. And, coincidentally, we had the unexpected good fortune to be in town for the Beatty Days festival on Saturday, October 26, with a parade and fair-cum-flea market. Fun times!

The Parade Marshal6 viewsThe Marshal is the one in front, with his driver in back of him.

Wacko Rocks3 viewsThe rocks in Titus Canyon, as elsehwere in Death Valley, are contorted into all kinds of bizarre shapes.

Splotches2 viewsAlternating with the bands were these white splotches, as if someone had splattered white paint on the canyon walls.

Sweets2 viewsMost of the parade participants threw goodies to the kids, who scooped them up eagerly - as did their parents.
