Isaiah 58:11 - The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Sunday, we had an early start as we awoke at 3:45 so Doug could get an early start and beat some of the 114-degree heat.

We did see several interesting sights. They have the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating Syst...

Death Valley is the lowest point below sea level in the Western Hemisphere. The drive to Death Valley was pretty uneventful. I did notice that around here where there is water there is abundant life.
