Death Valley, CA – Wednesday April 3, 2019

Today we drove north again heading toward “The Race Track”. This is where under the right conditions rocks move across the ground by themselves.

The sign as you leave the paved road has a picture of a little 4X4 Jeep, and they mean it. It is 27 miles to the Race Track so that make it a 54 mile trip. The “road” is a jeep road with lots a axle braking rocks, soft sand and loose rocks, the kind of road you have to drive every foot. After 45 minutes and 7 miles we decided it would be wise to turn around and head back. It took another 1.5 miles before I found a place in the road I wanted to turn around. The road way is not very wide with all the deep loose rocks I didn’t want to get stuck trying to turn around. Having both the front and back wheels in this loose rock at the same time did not seem like a good idea.
