the amazing grace

Death Valley National Park was the epitome of wild!   On our way into the park we stopped to geocache and barely held onto the doors as we tried to exit the car.  Driving we had the visibility of a Chicago snow storm but with sand.  We jokingly referred to ourselves as the “Three Little Pigs” as we held tight in our tent during 55mph winds the first evening we were there!  Despite all of this wind challenge, Death Valley is astounding!  When it isn’t noisy with wind, its utterly silent.  No birds, bugs, cars or anything once we started hiking.  Just our panting breaths and vigorous heartbeats.  We had the world to ourselves.
