The landscape between here and Las Vegas is mostly dry and desert ish, so I have seen a lot of sand when we were driving. Hehe. Our route was, Santa Barbara to Santa Clarita to a place in death valley to Vegas to Santa Barbara. A good week of traveling and a quite big area covered. Lucia and I worked good a traveling partners every other day driver and navigator. We decided not to bring a GPS and find our way with map and that worked 90% of the time. The other 10% were used to see the back streets of Vegas and more than planed of Santa Clarita. All in an a successful trip that we survived.

I'm really glad that I got to see Death Valley because it did not look like anything I have ever seen. I don't really know how to describe it properly to give you the right picture. What I of course realized is that the name is such a good description of the place. Dead, everything is dead! In the summer you can might spot a fish in a small river at one place but that is it guys! Dead and dry and sandy and no green stuff. We got up really early one of the days to see the sun rise over the sand dunes, that was a once in a life time experience. We went to places where everything is completely covered in salt, dried out and I have been 855 meters under sea level.

We drowe 1117 miles (US) and I have a new speeding record!
