Day 35: Las Vegas to Death Valley

Drove from Las Vegas to Death Valley and passed a sign that said, ‘Prison Nearby. Hitchhiker pickup is prohibited,”

Arrived in Death Valley, CA, but never crossed a state line sign!

Set up tent and had two people complain we had taken “their” spot – because they had seen it across the lot and wanted it. Suckkkkkkkkkkkers.

Our neighbor, Greg, was a 50 year old alcoholic without a fire pit, so we told him he could use ours.

Then we went to the nearby Sand Dunes – watch video!

Returned and Greg asked if he could join us for dinner because he was lonely. There were about 100 people at this campground, so we felt safe; plus he told us quality stores about his mining experience and girl friend in a mental hospital.

Later on, Helen and I were cold and not tired so we walked to the nightlife spot and shot pool and were given free drinks for being the only people under 30 to ever enter this establishment.
