Kit and Carol on the Road

This season is so far the WETTEST on record in Death Valley. The ranger says that if we come again we should not expect to see a huge lake at Badwater, green hills, and wildflowers everywhere. We were two weeks ahead of the peak bloom but there were flowers a plenty. I had no idea there were some many wildflower photographers roaming the world. Both Kit and I were under the weather during our 3 days in the valley so didn’t get out too much but went on a wildflower walk with a ranger, and one on our own. Death Valley is so huge you have to drive hours to get to the flowers. We aren’t sure but I think all the pollen contributed to sinus problems. It was a hard 8 hour drive into DV from Indio and another nearly 8 hours out to Bakersfield. Now we are on our way to Pasa Robles which will be a shorter drive
