At Thanksgiving, I flew solo to AZ and UT to visit family.Having missed a bus connection between my two
destinations, and with a snowstorm brewing in the mountains between there and
mom’s house, I found myself stranded in Vegas with a few days to spare.So I grabbed a rental car and raced off to
Death Valley and nearby Ridgecrest, CA (see above).Besides some general loitering around the park
in 80+ degree sunshine, I added two very cool hikes to my Southwest repertoire:
the Fall Canyon Narrows and Gower Gulch Loop.The pics barely hint at how gorgeous these places are.Check ‘em out next time you’re in the zone.I celebrated Turkey Day with a burger and
brew at the bar at Furnace Creek Ranch before heading back to my campsite,
where I enjoyed a good deep sleep on top of a picnic table under a billion bright
stars.
