28. Twenty, unless driving through Las Vegas doesn't count as "been" there

I refused to stay overnight in Las Vegas. My husband and I were supposed to spend that night at the Grand Canyon but if we'd stayed, we would have been snowed in for several days according to the staff. So we drove south and through Las Vegas. Didn't even stop for dinner, drove through a Wendy's, and headed for Death Valley thinking one of those little towns would have a hotel.

Those "little towns" on the map - this was 1978, long before Google Maps so this was a AAA map - were usually a bar and sometimes a gas station, which were both closed by the time we got there. So we arrived in Death Valley past midnight. The fancy resort hotel was full so we stayed at a little motel overnight. That night it rained. The next morning we drove up to the lookout point to see the lowest point in the Continental US. It was so foggy the ravens were walking around in the parking lot.

I wished could have stayed another couple of days - I've heard the desert blooms after a rain like that - but we had reservations in San Francisco.

My avatar was taken on that trip in Death Valley.

35. 35, although

fun...all so very subjective... there are so many things I have never done, and I so admire accomplishments of others...
I have not traveled outside of the US (except Canada) and there are so many other things I haven't had the opportunity to do or didn't care to do... that is why it is so awesome that we are all so different and can share with each other
