Day 8...

Published on Jun 17, 2011

One week on the road and we are still loving the adventure. Hard to believe that this is our last day here in Kings Canyon/Sequoia NP. We decided to squeeze in a few stops this morning before heading to Death Valley.  First stop was the museum…where I was most impressed with the floor... how gorgeous is this?

I’m sure the Ranger doesn’t get asked my question of what type of flooring it was. It is Fir.

Next stop the tunnel log…it's one of those things you have to get a picture driving through.

On the way to Death Valley the road was lined with orange and lemon trees. We saw a little fruit stand and pulled over…the smell was oh so yummy and sweet.

We came away with quite the selection... apricots the size of my fist, the sweetest oranges ever eaten, nectarines and peaches. Also got some dried mangos and cashews.

Saw this town along the way in California and had to stop for a bite to eat. Decided we would NOT want to live here... too big... too hot... too much of us being the minority.

Back on the road and saw the biggest wind farm around Mojave, CA…was almost alienish with so many of them.

We pulled into Death Valley late... around 10pm and the temp was 100! Excited to see exactly what it actually looks like in the morning.
