Monday, April 5th was the trip to Scotty’s Castle. We arrived in time to wait for the 11AM tour. We also signed up for a new tour: the “Underground Tour”. This is a tour of the basement and the mechanical accruements.
This is a picture of the clock tower on the equipment room and the unfinished pool. The green grass is growing on the bottom of the pool which was the victim of the depression. Blake and Stacey are standing on a bridge which crosses over the center of the pool. A circular driveway led to a parking area and guest would have crossed over the pool to the front door.
Looking back at Scotty’s Castle from the base of the clock tower .
The front room looking down from the balcony, toward the front door. The room has a large fireplace on one end as well as a waterfall on the other side to cool and add humidity during the summer.
The house was heated by this hot water heater.
We luck out again and score a picnic table for lunch.
Mean while back in the valley we visit Furnace Creek Ranch. We visited the gift shop and checked out the Steak House and Cafeteria.
We also visited the outdoor museum which has a lot of equipment used in the area.
Look out from Furnace Creek at the wonderful colors.
On the way home we drove through 20 Mule Team Drive.
