Ever since the days of my youth, I used to imagine what the great open expanses of the wild west would look like. (Some of my visions may have been a result of seeing too many Westerns!) I felt the urge to visit those places some day. I was not disappointed during the trip to Death Valley.

We’ve been back many times to Death Valley. Love it out there. We fund a new ghost town, or the remnants of one, called Ballarat. We’ll be going back for another town out that way after the summer called Olancha.

We spent just two days. Could have spent more, but need to make it back from the east coast. 🙂
