Thank you so much Neal, Nadia, Kitty and Tammy for viewing and commenting .....I just love this Park (but then again I love them all) The first time I drove in I thought why did I ever come here.....wow....once I started just looking slowly there was so much to see down to these little plants growing in the cracks of the mud on the dry lake...truly amazing place! #9864247

Very well composed and captured, Patricia! Now that looks a bit hostile to navigate! Great job! #10200204

I was actually buzzed by f-15 or f-16 from China Lake while photographing on this Dry Lake once....so I thought I'd see if it would happen again....not this year....but it was a great memory! I could see the two pilots in the cockpit as they flew by me.....amazing.... #10200835
