Home Away from Home

This was taken by my wife on the dirt road from Aguereberry Point in Death Valley National Park where we had watched the sunrise. This road was very rough in spots and one of the worst areas was just ahead of where the photo was taken. There was no one else around and so we felt safe stopping in the road for some photos. We would go on a few miles to the now abandoned Eureka Mine and nearby camp. The van is not only our transportation but our home away from home. My wife has made curtains for the inside and we use the deck for sleeping - we use our backpacking pads and sleeping bags and are comfortable and warm. We have our tiny backpacking stove along for meals and hot drinks.
