April 15- Road to Death Valley

Well we are using a loaner truck from the Dealership as our Diesel Truck is awaiting a part..... diesel vs gas....this is what we have accumulated the most on this trip....

Also accumulating lotto tickets from each state we go to....except Nevada....the gambling state....where they do not allow it....ha ha ha

The Nevada desert...

Many little dead towns along the way..

Hawthorne Army Depot! World's largest munitions storage facility,  2427 bunkers.


 Saw this bright light tower from many miles away and turns out to be a massive Solar Energy Tower!


Over 10,000 mirrors are focused, under computer control, onto a tower some 200 meters (656 feet) high. 
😎 

Another dirty old mining town called Tonopah. Home of the World Famous Clown Hotel! Yupp, that's what they say!
Finally made it! 8 fuel stops....$622.99 ⛽️
Ouch, better hope those lotto tickets pay out!

Cheers to a beautiful Death Valley sunset.
