Out of California via Death Valley

Well, I am behind on this little ole blog! We have left California behind us, and saw Death Valley on the way!

At the very first turn out we got out of the truck to look over a canyon like area and a fighter jet flew right into the canyon, dipping low and wiggling its wings a bit to fit. We meet up with some folks there who let us know that this is a routine practice area for a nearby base and that we might even see a couple of "dog fights".

We did see another, then in the actual valley there were 2 who flew by is, again!

We were 250+ feet below sea level!

And it was dry, dry, dry, but only 60 degrees! The hottest temp in the country was recorded here, 134*!


can you see the jet just below the railing?
