>Death Valley

DEATH VALLEY CA.

My wife and I spent the week after Christmas camping in Death Valley CA. We spent most every day driving back trails to old town settlements, mines and amazing views. I mostly wanted to locate and visit a place known as the racetrack. It's one of the few places in the world where the phenomenon of moving rocks occurs. It's an ancient dry lake bed on the north end of Death Valley that is difficult to access. It's one of the most interesting things I have ever seen. No one has ever seen them move even though the phenomenon has been studied for decades. There are a number of very plausible theories but frankly...who cares...it's just a cool thing to see!
