JOURNEY TO THE RACETRACK DEATH VALLEY NATIONAL PARK

Racetrack Rock

The Racetrack Rocks in Death Valley National Park have been on our bucket list for many years.  Actually getting to the rocks can be quite an adventure and many people blow out tires on the 27 mile dirt road. Annette, Lynn and I decide to rent a jeep and make our way down the rough road and out into the middle of nowhere to witness and walk among these famous mysterious rocks.  Here is a picture journey of our trip which was, without doubt, worth the effort.

Teakettle Junction

The day before we set out on this journey, Annette, myself and others tried desperately to save a 73 year old woman in the Shoshone RV park who had collapsed in her trailer.  unfortunately she did not survive and her husband was left to pack up and move on without her.  Over the years they both have spent many vacations here in the park and were on their last two days of a month stay when she passed.  Life is short and the fine line between life and death is razor thin.  We headed to Death Valley for healing and to honor Donna who loved this area.
