After our various driving and hiking expeditions, we finally arrived at Furnace Creek Ranch in Death Valley. We had made reservations to stay here for two nights. What the hell was I thinking??? There isn't a whole lot here and what is here is friggin' HOT. Okay, so it's a dry heat. It was still 110 degrees the day we arrived and even if it's dry, it's still too hot.
This is the entrance to an oasis that contains a restaurant, general store, motel, tennis courts (yeah right), golf course and swimming pool. That would be pretty much it for 300 miles in every direction.
Oh ya, there was also an outdoor museum with various artifacts from the mule trains that went through the valley during various gold and silver rushes. I have to admit, the only reason we even wandered through was because our room wasn't ready when we arrived.

When it says "keep off" you can be pretty sure that's right where you'll find Campbell and Kelly. It was also in a shed out of the sun so that's another reason to find them there.
