| 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! |
