Did you miss us? Did anyone notice?!
No Internet access in Death Valley, so we were offline for a day. Never mind we spent the time well - in the bar.
So, yesterday we left Mariposa, drove back to Yosemite and then over the Tioga (that's Tie Oga) Pass to Mono Lake, Owen's Valley and then on to Death Valley. It seems our silver Sebring shares a family trait with our old friend Stephen. It shakes like hell when the brakes are on and we go down hill. And we did go down a lot of hills yesterday. Tioga Pass 9,900 ft down to Mono Lake at ~7000 ft. Then a steady downhill drive to Lone Pine at ~4000ft. Then over a mountain range to the Panamint valley and another 4000ft drop to the valley floor. Then over the Panamint range to Death Valley - another 4000ft and we're shaking like blancmanges.
Don't ever hire a Chrysler Sebring!
