Wildrose Charcoal Kilns

I haven't switched political parties, driven into a crowd assembled to see the Queen, declared bankruptcy, or caught the swine flu (although I have had some iffy days health-wise lately), which may explain why you haven't heard much of my doings lately. I'm just not newsworthy. Of course, I've spent the last few days holed up at Death Valley National Park, where there is no limelight--although the starlight is more than abundant. Even though it is still April (barely), it's already too hot for me to do much more than cross the valley floor; consequently I spent most of my time in the upper elevations, as well as doing what most overnight tourists in DVNP spend hours each day doing--driving to Nevada for gas. Now I'm safely back in California, and tomorrow I set my sights on Eureka, expecting to drive through rain all day and arrive in the late afternoon.
