On the Road to Death Valley

March 11,2009

Left Bolder City Elks after having breakfast @ Mc Donald's. If your ever in Bolder City you might want to stop for a snack there. It has walls of water & Brass figures of children playing. Very nice & fancy for a Mc D’s. Sorry no pix.   [Remember to click on a pix to see it bigger.]

We drove up Hwy. 95 through Indian Springs & saw the snow on Mt. CharlestonP1000643  P1000645 P1000647 P1000578

Took Hwy 95 all the way up to the north entrance Scotty’s Junction hwy267. It’s 26 miles in to the Castle. We followed Mike & Sandy. The road was narrow in places & a little windy. The White cement posts are fence posts put in to mark the boundary of the Castle property. They have a J & an S molded into each post.

There is ample room for an RV to park & go through the tour. There are 3 tours one of the Castle, one of Basement & tunnels under the ground & one of the outside area. We took the Castle & the Basement tours.

We got there late enough in the day & decided to stay @ Mesquite Spring camp ground near Scotty’s Castle. To do over again we wouldn’t stay there just because there were several low branches not very High Profile RV friendly. But it is close to the Castle for an early start.

This campground has very spacious spots. There are a lot of tent campers & people that sleep in there cars. It’s $12 a night or $6 with golden age pass. Which Steve has. They have Bathrooms & dish washing places but no showers.  View out front window & MH & Toad
