After breakfast and looking around the area a bit we headed toward Badwater. It was only a 17 mile drive from our camp spot. We stopped at a couple turn outs on the way to Badwater and on the way back we went on the Artist’s Drive. We took a few short walks from the road to see extra view points. We ate our lunch in a particularly lovely spot call the Artist’s Palate. We are drinking plenty of water even though it is only in the low 80’s it feels very hot and dry to us. We spent the afternoon out of the sun and relaxing. When we started the generator at 7pm to heat our dinner in the microwave it was less than 2 minutes when the same who said “we are not generator people” came to ask me if I was aware the generator hours were 7am-7pm. In fact they are 7am to 11pm but I did tell her as soon as our dinner was warm I would turn it off.
