We started our Death Valley adventure by getting our new solar system tied into the 12 volt system.  For unknown reasons they did not tie in both battery systems, so George was struggling to make the system work and it wouldn't.  After a phone call, we moved up our departure date so we could get the system fixed (at no extra charge).  We decided to catch a movie and have a bit of fun.  We went to the "luxury IMAX", comfortable chairs, leg room, beer, wine and gourmet snacks, and the tickets $ 10.00  !

We got an early start and had a nice relaxing trip to Beatty, NV.  We stayed at Bailey Hot Spring RV park and soaked away the travel kinks. I started the morning with...... You guessed it, hot soak!  I could start every day like that.  Coffee, hot springs, equaled paradise.

Death Valley is so beautiful this time of year.  They had some heavy rains two days before our arrival.  There were signs of flooded roads and puddles of standing water.  We settled

in and enjoyed the 76 degree weather.  The nights are cool, but we all brought firewood.
