No Wi-Fi was available Monday and most of Tuesday, but they were busy days.  I started this update on my phone but finally got it to work as a hot spot for the computer.  Trying to update blogger on a phone is a tedious and futile effort.

Monday Betty and I spent much of the day at the Pahrump Valley Winery with Lynn Switzer, an old friend of Betty's from her days in Salmon, Idaho.  While there we got a tour, enjoyed wine tasting, had lunch, and bought a couple bottles of wine.

Today was spent in Death Valley on a bus tour.  Death Valley National Park is the largest park in the lower 48, so many miles were traveled to see the sights on our agenda.

 As time and internet access allows, I shall add more images for these two days.

After we returned from our tour of Death Valley, we were picked up by Lynn who took us to her home for a nice supper with her family.  After supper we drove to the RV park in our Jeep, which Lynn's son Eddie had worked on to get the passenger door to open and shut.  Now we can finish our trip with a functional Jeep.  Thanks again, Eddie.

We leave early tomorrow morning for Virgin, Utah and Zion National Park.  I hear that internet connectivity will be even worse there.
