New Years! Shoshone Ca

Yesterday John, Judy and I hiked to Ibex dunes in Death Valley. Since you have to hike to these there was no one else and the dunes were pristine.

Pristine dunes. Judy hiking to the dunes.

Judy and John climbing the dunes. I rolled down the face of the dune. Filled my pockets with sand.

Our foot prints on the crest of the dune. It snowed the night before on the peaks above us.

the river was still running in the valley to get to the dunes. We had to pick our way over rivulets and mud with weird patterns in it.

sunset on the way back.

We started the day by helping clean out an empty house that will be remodeled into a darkroom for a non-profit artist in residence program here in Shoshone.
