Benton Hot Springs, CA

Benton Hot Springs, CA




Last night of the trip and can’t think of a better way to end it than having our own hot tub at the campsite.  We’re in a sweet little grassy area with a stream that runs thru it. Very private and picturesque.  













We spent the first half of the day at Death Valley pool.  For most of the morning we had the pool to ourselves.  Felt so good to get in some laps and then just enjoy the soft spring waters. 

















Interesting to see Death Valley change over these last 15 years. Xanterra bought the Furnace Creek Inn and is trying to turn it into a swanky place.  You can’t beat camping here for $6 (Senior Pass) and then get a $5 pool pass.  

















Early morning pic of Wolfgang before the sun came up.  We really tested Wolfgang these last 3 weeks. I’m still in love. So easy to drive, comfy to sleep, convenient to have our fridge, stove and sink always ready. Best investment we made was the solar.  We only plugged in one time the whole trip.  (We did have one minor issue with the USB ports, but it’s easily resolved).  You’re officially part of the family Wolfgang.  I’m sure this is the beginning of many, many adventures.
