Sunset tonight. Judy attempting to chop up the dead mesquite tree that was moved over from the neighbors. She will make art with it.
Susan had us to dinner at the Crow Bar tonight. Good food and fun to see Susan. Judy D, Judy P, Susan and John
John cooked us a wonderful dinner. We ate early enough to eat out side and watch the moon rise. My homemade bread right before going into the oven. John's pork roast with his homemade rub on it on it's way to the BBQ. Full snow moon rising in the sunset.
Sunset looking west. A tear drop trailer that is the Vistabule.
We went to the Amargosa opera house to see La Boheme. The inside of the Amargosa opera house. 52 years ago Marta Beckett a famous ballerina from New York opened here for her show. She performed every night whether there was anyone there or not. She painted an audience on the walls. She passed away a few years ago and the seat in front with the flowers is saved for her spirit now.My sister is on the right behind Marta and Judy D is next to her. John is at the end of the row.
La Boheme performed at the Amargosa opera house by the Las Vegas City Opera. They shortened it to 4 short acts. Marcello, Rudolfo, Schaunart and Alcindoro in the first act. Mimi and Rudolfo proclaiming their love for each other. Excellent performance.
Today we drove to Beatty, Nevada to drop my sister Judy and Judy D off to start their B2B hike. They will hike 170 miles from Beatty to Badwater following the course of the Amargosa river. It will take them 2 weeks. This is Judy's car with her B2B hike licence plate. This is the 10th year they have hike this hike. John has hiked a good portion of it with them in the past. I usually run support. I stay in the hotels with them the 4 nights that they do that and I bring food and take home extra stuff. We stopped in three spots and buried food and water on the way up so they don't have to carry it all. In the desert they say to take one gallon of water a day per person. Judy D, John and Judy P burying the caches.
It is cold, cloudy and windy today. Clouds and maybe rain on the near by peaks. A bit of sunshine shining on peaks by the highway.
We are spending the night at the the Death Valley Inn in Beatty. Palm trees at the Inn.
Good, Better, Beatty-The gateway to Death Valley. This church started out in Rhyolite a nearby town that is now a ghost town. It is now part of the VFW. We had dinner at the VFW tonight. It is the best food in town. Judy, Judy and John on the right ordering dinner. Judy is wearing her camo hat, hoping to fit in.
Dinner at the VFW in Beatty, Nv was fun. Great food and the people were very nice. Suep, Judy P (in her camo hat), John and Judy D at the VFW.
