Death Valley

 I spent the weekend in Death Valley National Park with this Golf Group I golf with sometimes.

It was filled with Golf, sun and fun.  

Stayed the first night in Tonopah, NV which is 2 hours outside of Death Valley.  We headed over Friday morning in time for golf at 10:45 am

We were headed to Furnace Creek golf course.

The golf Course is super cool.  It is the hotttest place on Earth (I think) and here is a golf course.  The golf course was in ok condition, we did have lots of mud which was weird in the desert  

Gotta keep hydrated on the course.  It was a 4.50 refill for me.

Geese and birds were the only animals that I saw. We saw coyotes last year.  Not this year.

Solar panels which is cool to utilize the sun in such a hot area

 

Cool folage. I think that is a Cyprus tree

I played my best round on Day one.  Tom even said I was on my way to being a good golfer.  :)

                                    After golf, we had lunch at the 19th Hole (at the golf course) and then to the pool.

Best selfie I could get 

I tried to get a selfie and this was my view from the pool.  So beautiful 

Dinner one night

This was the dinner menu.  It was ok food and super expensive

Before we drove home on Sunday night, we stopped and saw some sights.  

Artist Palate is a drive to see those colors up there.   

This group in the back was looking at the formations, which were because of salt, and wondering why the Great Salt Lake isn't like that.  Kindof an interesting question

Headed home on Sunday.  Loved it.  such beautiful weather like 72 degrees for golf in February.  Couldn't have asked for better weather.  

And I loved that Andrew kept the home front in line  Everyone was alive and well when I returned.
