Nearly a Personal Record

[DAW89446]

When I got married in April, 1976, my bride and I honeymooned for three days in Death Valley National Monument in my parents 1971 VW Westfalia camper van. I don’t remember many details. The main thing I recall is becoming sick in the middle of the night in our camp below the Lippincott mill at Bonnie Claire. With a terrible stomach ache, we drove over to Big Pine. By then I felt like I was going to explode. I remember being on the toilet at the Triangle Park for more than an hour. We spent the last couple nights around the southern Owens Valley exploring the remains of the narrow guage railroad.
