Welcome to the second day of our 2018 Spring Trip
Amargosa
Amargosa Hotel
Amargosa Opera House
The opera house is amazing, all paintings in there were done by one person, Marta Becket.
She started on the them in the 60’s
Entering Death Valley
Had originally planned to start with Dante’s View but sadly the road was shutdown for maintenance, so we weren’t able to go there.
So first stop is Zabriskie point.
Zabriskie Point in Death Valley
It is beautiful, the pictures doesn’t justify it but if you get a chance to visit you will be overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery.
Devil’s Golf Course in Death Valley
Devil’s Golf Course, Golf Course which only the devil would like.
Lunch stop at the Timibisha Shoshone reservation in Death Valley
After Artists Palette we drove in to Furnace creek to get some lunch and look around.
Decided to stop by the Indian reservation, to try their Indian Taco.
Ordered one each plus some Fry bread for desert.
Should’ve looked at the picture more closely and only ordered one for the both of us.
Leaving Death Valley, Entering Nevada
Goldwell Open Air Museum
Stopped by Goldwell Open Air Museum intersting sculptures there.
Rhyolite Nevada
Next on our journey is Rhyolite ghost town, a gold mining town that flourish in the early 1900’s and left just as fast as it came.
Had about 5-8,000 people in its boom years between 1905 and 1911.
Now it is just some few ruins left.
Goldfield, Nevada
We stopped in Goldfield to mainly to look at the hotel but saw a lot more, definitely worth revisiting this town.
In its boom days it was largest city in Nevada.
Arrival at the Mizpah Hotel in Tonopah
Finally arrived in Tonopah and checked in to the Mizpah, a beautiful hotel.
Got told that there might be a hidden dressed up mannequin in the room some where and if we did we would possibly get an upgrade to the Lady in Red suite.
Sadly there was nothing in our room.
After we got our stuff in we went down stairs to their restaurant and enjoyed a good meal.
After that it was time to crash.
