Traveling out of Death Valley this morning we took a walk along Salt Creek. So fun to see hundreds of the elusive pupfish. (Josh & Marlina wish you could have seen them after we searched to find just one!).
The climb over a couple of mountain ranges before reaching 395 was amazing. Loved all the wildflowers and seeing the snow capped Sierras on the horizon.
We stopped in Lone Pine to visit the Film Museum. It was closed for a private event and we were told to skeedaddle along. We pressed our noses against the glass doors to get a look inside. The two sweet women who worked there took pity on us and let us sneak in. So fun to see all the film props posters and history of the films that were made in the Alhambra Hills.
In the parking lot of the museum was a really cool airstream, unlike any other I’ve seen. I think it was custom made for a movie.
The spot of our picnic lunch. I don’t think we could have found a more bucolic spot.
Our destination tonight is Keough Hot Springs. A funky private campground/hot springs place that was founded in 1919. I don’t think it’s been updated since. Nevertheless, the hot springs and heated pool felt divine. We spent the rest of the afternoon and early evening soaking away.
Tonight’s dinner - grilled yams and lentils over rice, served with Fred’s red wine. Delish!!
