Beyond Death Valley: Pupfish, Big Tents, and a Transit Upgrade



This week we leave Death Valley for Ash Meadows Wildlife Refuge before heading to Quartzite where we learn about a brand new suspension package for the Ford Transit.

  1. Loved it. Thanks, I like to see unknown to me locations, but I love to see when you visit places I like very much. This time ash meadows and Longstreet motel / gas station. I have fond memories of this place, stayed there for a night in 2008 with husband, son and my late father. We had good food in the evening and they had live music, a country band with a very good lady singing. Farmers in their dungarees and cowboy hats made most of the audience. All were in good spirits.

  2. So many … armpits. HA! Loved the shots of the rainbow & Death Valley overview from the hike. Thanks for taking us, and hope the video schedule is working better for you.

  3. Your Death Valley adventures looked fun. You hit the right time of year – not over 100 degrees. Loved the panning slow-motion shots. And you've trained your drone to take awesome shots too. Quartzite looked crowded as usual. We appreciate you. 😊

  4. You sure that wasn't hiking along the spine of an alligator? Ha ha! Wow – the view from that gazebo thing and the rainbow! I've had Ash Meadows on my list – the roads look a bit gooey… The word for the guys that broke in at Ash Meadows is "Touron" – tourist / moron. I just don't get it. Oh Thrifty ice cream!!!

  5. I got a kick out of the phone booth in Texas Springs as well. I was in Death Valley over the weekend and the skeleton friend was decked out in his St. Paddy's day finest.

  6. Hi Debbie
    We had a wonderful time in Death Valley driving over 1,300 miles in 5 days. We decided to travel light and leave our Travel Trailer at home. Stayed at the Dow Villa in Lone Pine and Stovepipe Wells Inn. We soon found out the drive from Lone Pine was exhausting but a great experience. We really enjoyed the diversity of Death Valley visiting all the highlights. We just ran out of time and couldn’t go to Ash Meadows but watched your awesome informative video. Thanks for being an inspiration to so many of us. Take care.
    Laurie and Denise

  7. Yes the Dow Villa has seen many changes over the years and yours had to be quite the memory. We stayed in the newer section and our neighbors were very into ‘magic mushrooms’ as they had flyers for their products to share. The husband was very proud to advertise his hot tub prowess in his super tight short shorts 😂 we called them the greeters. It was quite the treat 😉that’s an image we can’t get out of our minds. lol the fun part of traveling.

  8. Another method to contact the owner of a found iphone – Swipe up on the lock screen, on the "enter password" screen press emergency, then press medical ID. The owner's emergency contacts should be listed there.
