Death Valley 3

 The top picture is the crater we visited,Ubehebe,  that was beautiful in it's simplicity.  We also learned that they mined Borox from Dealth Valley, and there are many, many uses for Borox (including Laundry detergent, ceramic glazes, soaps, shampoos, food preservatives and in heat resistant glass! - who knew?)
I found the different cacti to be remarkable, sometimes just one little one, other times fields of "trees".  The yellow "bottle brush" was tall, about 3' and attractive - we only saw it in the northern part of Death Valley as we climbed over the pass.

whoops, the top picture is now a "field of cacti trees"...oh well, you get the picture!
