After leaving Hanford, Calif. friday night we traveled to overnight at Jawbone Canyon (North of Mojave). The Troop rose early the next day to trave further to Death Valley!
Camp was at the campground just south of Furnace Creek
Devil's Golf Course
Bad Water _ The lowest spot in the United States
Dinner the first night in Death Valley was rattlesnake stew (suprising how snake tastes like chicken!?)....
... it was cooked in Dutch ovens and was a big hit!
Campfire time
The sunrise and moon set was wonderful! And the weather was not really cold, notice that Morgan hardly ever wore a coat
Pondering the color palate on artist drive
Salt Creek nature area
The Ubehebe Crater
Never seen this guy before! Couldn't be from OUR Troop!!?!
Sunday morning Worship Service, Richard led the the group.
Chow line at Scotties Castle
The amazing Sand Dunes!

Webelos from Pack 413
The Troop plus Webelos biding a fond farewell to Death Valley! (sigh!)
The return trip was thwarted by a traffic accident just west of Tehachapi involving 2 big-rigs. There were Slim Jims all over the freeway! Traffic was totally stopped for almost 3 hours. The Troop got to spend some quality time playing on the freeway!
