Scotty’s Castle

One of the main attractions at the Death Valley National Park, is Scotty’s Castle. The castle, actually a residence and ranch, is in the northern part of Death Valley. There are many legends and controversies surrounding the castle, not the least of which concerns Scotty, himself.

Below, Verna looks into the dry plunge in the foreground with the castle and chime tower beyond. The last time we were here, the plunge was full of water, ready for swimmers. We don’t know why it is dry now. Click on the image for larger view.

Cruiser in 3D

This is our cruiser all hooked up in the RV campground on Christmas Eve, in Wickenberg, Arizona. We were tied down at a place called “Horsepitality,” where RVs and horse trailers could camp overnight. After all the hookups were in place, I decided to snap an image pair that could be merged later into a 3D image. This is the result.

The cruiser, itself, is a 24 foot long class B motorhome on a Ford van chassis. The interior, while certainly not spacious, had all the comforts we needed for our winter cruise. In fact, after the sun went down, we had showers off and on all night – fortunately, they seemed to subside whenever Bear, our canine companion, had to head for the dogwalk.

As usual, you can click the image to see it full-sized in the viewer, and for those who do not have the requisite 3D glasses, you can click here to see the 2D version.

Happy 2009!

I can’t take credit for this panoramic view of Hoover Dam, since I cropped it from one of Verna’s Dam shots. I do take credit for the word art, however.
