Thursday, Feb. 19/15 - Scotty's Castle

"The Castle" building itself.
We woke early as usual, had tea and coffee and once more did a general clean up and packing. We were soon set to go and had a big farewell to the Hi-Desert Rig Runners group who we really enjoyed our stay with. We set off for our first planned stop which was “Scotty’s Castle” a early 1900’s “Camp” built in the middle of Death Valley for vacationing! There is a whole story to it but it’s too long to tell so you’ll have to google it or visit yourself. It was well worth the admission price and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I got some great photo’s.

The reason for "Scotty's Castle" location
and the most important thing in the desert
WATER!
It took us most of the day, having lunch there of homemade ham sandwiches. 





We continued on about 3:30 PM and got diesel and had dinner at Burger King in Tonopah, NV. We did another hour or so of driving and then stopped at a rest area in Luning, NV. about 8:00 PM. Another one of our enjoyable days that are quickly nearing the end - only six more days to go.
