October 9th Death Valley, California
5pm and it is still a blistering 43deg C/109.4F. Just across the road from the entrance to Furnace Creek Resort/RV Park is this wonderful view of the Funeral Mountains...one can only imagine the extreme hardships endured by first settlers.

Tom decided we would treat ourselves to some fine dining. The Furnace Creek Inn is a green oasis a mile or so from the RV park.
Built in 1927 in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, this grand old lady is a wonderful haven from the harsh reality of Death Valley. It is AAA, 4 Diamond Star rated resort, so fellas bring your wallets.

Apron of Rock..large cones of sedimentary material accumulate at the mouth of the canyon leaving behind alluvial fan like formations.
Deserts are valleys that have dried up and yet, when it does rain water gushes over the land leaving trench like rifts.
