Lee's headquarters. Our room had a gold plaque on the door, noting Dwight & Mrs. Eisenhower stayed in our room. It is my understanding (after our stay) that Patton had stayed at another room at the same hotel while visiting the Battlefield. We enjoyed visiting sites in the town as well, several of notable historic significance &/or mystery. I've been fortunate to visit several National Parks.

The Racetrack Playa has boulders that move mysteriously on their own without explanation. Badwater Basin is the lowest point in the USA, approx. 282 below sea level. It has a General Store, former borax mine, museum, scenic mountain ranges, even a golf course with palms at the hottest recorded place on Earth at 134 degrees. Cell service is nearly negligible out there, but skies are clear blue, and the stars are brilliant at night. The sand dunes were the back drop of at least two Star Wars films. There are few hotels... a resort, nice "cabins", and 3 area motels. One of these is just outside the park and has a quirky opera house with sightings of an otherworldly nature. And though it would seem barren, there is plant life sprinkled about this land of rich colors (Artist's Den) and canyons (Golden & Marble). Much more may be said about this breathtaking land of extremes. And incidently, my child shares the first name of your novels' character!Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842003915846219344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955094874112299980.post-39367323338756590592014-07-19T12:29:10.754-07:002014-07-19T12:29:10.754-07:00Leave your thoughts here!Leave your thoughts here!Biohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06079892630232239618noreply@blogger.com
