We went over to the Wrangler and the guy at the door told us it was 11.25 per
person all inclusive for the breakfast buffet. We went for the deal since it
seemed so reasonable compared to ala carte next door. I had bacon and eggs with
coffee and juice. I was so thirsty from the dry heat that I had 3 glases of OJ.
We walked around the Borax Museum on the way backk to our room. Encountered
another one of those French woman in a bikini. Nice Body. We packed the car with
the water we kept in the refrigerator and checked out. First stop was a dirt
drive to Mosaic Canyon. Beautiful white and brown marble canyon walls. Next stop
was Badwater which is a salt lake that still has some water in it. We walked out
on the lake bed. It was amazing and beautiful but very hot. Next we did a drive
along Artists drive, visited the Harmony Borax Works and then watched a slide
show in the visitors center to cool off. I got lots of pics of the solar panels
that power the place. 90 watts per panel on the label, 56 panels per bay and
there were 4 bays. On our way out of the park we stopped at Zybriskie point a
beautiful overview of multicolored hillsides. Drove the hot road, it was 117, to
Death Valley Junction where we stopped for sandwiches at the Amaragosa Cafe. I
had a turkey, bacon and cheese sandwich with Cole slaw and a root beer. It was a
pleasant stop. We chatted with the waitress about Calif, the heat and LA. She
doesn't like LA. The drive back was uneventful. Once we hit the interstate, we
sailed right along and got to Joe's a little before 7. Joe made a pork butt
roast which was delicious. We went to bed exhausted ready to begin working.
