Someplace in Death Valley
I went to bed early, skipping dinner as I'd filled up on too much beer and
snacks. Saturday morning started with a ride to Beatty, Nv. This took
longer than expected as the Daylight pass road is closed. I had to detour
toward Furnace creek to pick up the Beatty cut-off toward Daylight pass.
Then there was the 10 minute wait for the "follow me" truck over the
section of road under active construction. I saw Jerry Grey waiting
to go the other direction as I left the construction area.
I stopped at the Stagecoach in Beatty where I saw Ramon. He said most of
the Beatty contingent went to Scotty's Castle. Not wanting to handle the
Daylight Pass hassle again, I headed north on US 95 to the Scotty's
Junction, then over to Scotty's castle on SR 267.

Most of the group was at Scotty's. Rob tried to figure out just how many
SMBC members and guests were on this trip; I think he counted at least 22.
There were probably more.
I had a cup of coffee, chatted with people for a short while, then headed
off
to Ubehebe Crator to pick up the road to the Racetrack. I'd never been
there before and thought that it might be a nice thing to do before heading
to Furnace creek where the group was going to meet for lunch/whatever around
1 PM. I expected to be late, but that's OK.
