We decided to head home today for a couple of reasons. 1) We have seen everything we are going to see and 2) It has gotten crowded and noisy here! Last night I think the coyotes were protesting visitors as well I guess, since they howled much of the night, which in turn had Tony growling! As a side note it also seems to be getting warmer! We decided to go the more mountainous route home so we took 190 west to 395 then picked up 14, 58, 99 and home! We briefly stopped at Mesquite Sand Dunes but decided we didn’t want to hike out on the dunes like so many others. We continued on the 190 route, which is the Death Valley Scenic Byway. It was interesting to see but I doubt we would go that way again. It is a two way road, nicely paved, but steep and lots of cliffs, that’s how the “scenic” gets it’s name. Owens Lake was probably lovely at one time but there isn’t much left of it now. It was shocking to see how little snow was on the Sierras as well! We made good time with just a few stops and very little traffic, except on Hwy 99 of course. We were home just before 7pm. Tony immediately went in and hopped on our bed between the pillows!
