Death Valley, CA

Today we packed a picnic lunch and took off on a day trip and drove through part of Death Valley National Park.   It was very hot.  At one point the thermometer read 110 degrees.  That is freaking hot. LOL

Red Rock Canyon

The weather was just too beautiful to waste today so we packed a picnic lunch and took a drive through Red Rock Canyon.  The scenery was beautiful.  Didn’t see any wildlife…just lots of people taking pictures just like us. LOL

Later tonight we attended the dirt track races at Pahrump Valley Speedway.  It was loud and dirty with lots of crashes.  We had a great time.
