A Few California Observations

I meant to post these awhile ago.  Posts should be a bit more frequent shortly... I'm getting internet at my house!!  Oh my goodness, what is that!?

I stopped in Death Valley on my drive out to Yosemite.  When I got to the Visitor Center at Furnace Creek, this was the temp my car said it was outside.  This was mid/late April.  One of my friends who still works out there said it hit 120 yesterday.  Gotta love Death Valley.  (Oh, and I think I'll roll over 200,000 miles this year.  Easy.  Way to go Little Car!)

 This is the gas station about three miles down the road from my apartment in Yosemite.  It's much cheaper 30 miles down the road in town.  But how often am I going that direction?
