Spring 2003 Death Valley Ride [Page 3]
The final leg was from Trona to Stovepipe Wells. I got there about 4:30. Carl, Tom and Gloria, and Fred were already there. Jerry showed up about the same time I did. Jessica and Paul were visiting before heading over to Beatty. I checked in, unpacked, then joined the group in a round of beer drinking and lie telling. I don't think it took Fred 10 seconds to start snapping pictures of my parking lot mishap once I mentioned it.
The last picture above shows one of the differences between a deluxe room and a normal room at Stovepipe Wells -- the deluxe room has potable water. If you count the beer bottles around Fred you may understand why he complained of a headache, Saturday.
Saturday the group staying at Stovepipe Wells and the group staying in Beatty met at Scotty's Castle for the Technology Tour. This tour takes you into the tunnels below the castle to see how heating, cooling, and power were handled in the 1920s.
