We had a busy spring break week. To start off, we spent a couple days camping in Lone Pine, with a day trip to Death Valley. It was much prettier than I expected, with the image in my mind of a barren, flat desert. I was impressed with the mountains in the area. We were glad to not be in Death Valley during the summer, since it was already 90+ degrees in Badwater Basin in March. Other areas were actually a bit chilly. Dante's View was really windy. Savannah didn't even want to ride in the backpack - she might have been scared of the wind.
Camping wasn't great. There were lots of mosquitoes the first night. It was extremely windy and chilly the second night - I thought we were going to blow away in our tent. I'm surprised it held up because it was SO windy. It nearly blew away while we were out for our day trip. We also couldn't do a fire, so we couldn't do smores or hot dogs. We ended up eating our (cold) food in the car and then just getting in the tent for the night. And Jared was coughing the whole night (we later found out he had pneumonia...poor guy). So camping wasn't very fun, besides our pretty mountain views.
Not much of a river... but we had to snap a picture of Owen by his sign.
We didn't have time to stop at the dunes, but they looked really cool from the road.
