It Lives
I am officially home. I’m also officially a bit sunburned, a lot tired, and really happy to have had the Death Valley experience. I met some wonderful people, saw beautiful sights, and have memories that will last a lifetime.
For a couple hours my first day there, I thought I might have to spend the next year digging sand out of my ears. I feel confident in proclaiming this is not the case. However, I do have a camera that is in need of a major deep cleaning. The sensor is not happy.
There was a point Saturday morning when I thought I was developing a serious case of frostbite. I recovered. But that bitter, biting cold will stay with me for a very long time. I’m still not quite over the deep chill of the memory.
I carried a few ghosts to and from this adventure. More on that later. For now, I’m home, I’m safe, and I’m ready for a nap. But first I must upload 1,800 photos.
P.S. Is it mere coincidence that tonight’s Little People, Big World has the Roloff family making a stop in Death Valley?
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!! you’re home! sounds like it was fun!
