Day 178, Tuesday, November 29

I’d initially planned on packing up my bags early today and heading back to Las Vegas with out further exploration of the valley. I had a complete change in plans. I decided to spend this morning playing around on the sand dunes by Stove pipe Wells.. Here too, I’d expected barren sandy expanses that might be fun to play on but which wouldn’t capture my interest otherwise. Again, I was badly mistaken. The dunes were exceptionally beautiful. Many of my pictures came out looking like paintings and I was pleased to find countless animal tracks all over the dunes. This evening I went back to bad water flats to take pictures at sunset. I drove back to Chungs in Henderson (LasVegas) after dark.
