Back from Death Valley, the flowers were made quite a display, nodding and waving in the wind. There were many people in the Valley this year I guess everyone heard the news about the flower display. I took loads of pictures, so many I have to edit them down. When I returned Oregon it was raining! Yeah about time. I just needed to go down and fetch our weather. My tacoma truck kicked butt when we did some off road adventures. We went up Goler wash and visited the notorious Barker ranch (Charlie Manson's hangout he was arrested there). We also followed the escape route (now a 4 wheel drive road) of the Jayhawker party (1849) I really admire their fortitude in coming out of death valley and the panamint range. Loads of snow in the Sierra but Ca 395 was clear. cheers. -- MZ Visit my website: http://www.mzuschlag.com glad you had a good time, mary. just reading your post made me want to go take a nap. diane >just reading your post made me want to >go take a nap. Awe it was fun, though lots of driving there and back! We hiked all over, so I am in pretty good shape now! The flowers were amazing, fun to watch adults act like kids when they look at flowers. -- MZ Visit my website: http://www.mzuschlag.com Welcome home.

Maybe I will make one to get you in the mood!

Did you see any butterflies? Mary and I were in the low desert of SoCal today, and there were millions of them. Cars were being re-painted yellow by those critters comitting suicide. They circled and dive-bombed us when we walked. ...

My windshield was smeared with them.... big yellow globs. We went through butterfly "storms". Amazing how many there were. My truck is in serious need of a bath! -- MZ Visit my website: http://www.mzuschlag.com welcome back! sounds like a wonderful trip. I've seen one picture of Death Valley in bloom and look forward to seeing more!

It's like trying to make up for 2 months without rain in one week. > My tacoma truck kicked butt when we did some off road adventures.

We just got back from Death Valley a few minutes ago. Wonderful trip. Even if we did drive thru a near blizzard in Donner Pass this morning. Quite a crowd in Death Valley wasn't there? At least in the few areas where people congregate. THe traffic, parking and congestion in those areas could have certainly been improved by about a dozen port-a-potties.

I always forget how big the landscape is in Death Valley; it is huge. What an incredibly beautiful stark place, but the flowers were great. We were mostly in the back country with our 4x4s. Yikes those blizzards along 395 and Donner summit can be very exciting a real adventure, I always need decompression time after driving in one of those storms. Here in Oregon we have rain finally! The forecast this week is rain, rain showers, showers, rain showers and rain! High winds on the coast. Yippee maybe we will have a boating season after all. My poor dahlias were starting to break through the soil, hope it is not too cold for them. Our trees are leafing out.... very early spring, the rhodies have started to bloom at my office. -- MZ Visit my website: http://www.mzuschlag.com |
