After some record rainfall over the winter I though I should get down there to see the flowers and other famous items. Good news… lots of flowers in vast gravel pits to the south of Furnace Creek. Bad news… racetrack rock trails erased for the most part… plus some assholes are stealing the rocks that have been there for hundreds of years making the trails. I need to revisit my 1998 trip with my new film scanner to pick up some more photos I have not been able to post since they are on 4×5 and 21/4 film plus a few 35mm kodachromes. Enjoy. This is a giant place and I don’t think 10 more trips would cover it. Maybe again in late September?
