The view the depot has:

Again, there were abandoned buildings around. Perhaps one day they too will be restored and opened for visiting.

We left the park via the north - got gas in Baker. Stopped to look at part of the Mojave Trail (a 135 mile 4x4 road for hard core enthusiasts - we'll be doing this trail next year I think) We stopped at the Depot again - Sean went in and talked with the ranger there. She recommended we go to the Mid Hills Campground. Long drive. About an hour away. But off we went. It was certainly worth it.

We stopped at the Hole In The Wall visitor's center. Yes, that's the name! :D The ranger there was really nice and had us bring the dogs inside the gift shop while we all talked (I would have stood outside in the porch with them)

Due to a large fire that went through the area on June 22nd of 2005 (my birthday :D ) the camp ground was basically deserted. We had the whole place to ourselves. Being that it was Aug 1st probably had something to do with it too. ha

Doggies: "Where's Dinner???"

and the view from our camp site:

And the Long view - looking toward Las Vegas:

And. Night falls.

*thump*

During the night we were visted by many coyotes. Leo and Solo barked them away.
