We spent last night in Beatty (just outside of the park) and are heading back to Death Valley today. We started our day at Rhyolitte, which is an old ghost town just west of Beatty. There were a lot of old interesting buildings there, along with a house made completely out of bottles. From there we headed to Leadfield, which is also an old, abandoned mining town. To get to Leadfield we had to travel on a one-way gravel road through the mountains. One thing about traveling with Jeff, he is always wanting to take the back roads, no matter how remote they may be. I'm sure that we see a lot more country than the average traveler this way. The ride was filled with great views and took us about four hours to go the 26 miles. After Leadfield, our next stop was to Scotty's Castle. This is a mansion that was built out in the middle of the desert. It was worth the time and effort to see.
