December Snows

Yes, we can see snow on the peaks around Death Valley. The low last night at our campsite was 41 so it is chilly.
We are sad because Sandy and Newel left yesterday for home having completed their commitment to the park. They did some great work here on signs and really spiffed up the big entrance sign as you enter the park. They will be missed by the park, but especially by us, their long time friends!
We have neighbors. The rat people are here from the university studying rats in the park. It will be fun to chat with them today and see where the rats are living.
Yesterday, we decided to go into the city for church. Our little church here is not meeting anymore so we found a Calvary Chapel in Pahrump. Only about 25 of us but it felt so good to be meeting with believers again. We got there late since we had to help a man stuck in the gravel off the road. It took us half a hour to get assistance for him and get a tow truck on the way.
We are excited about the prospect of seeing our home and family at Christmas. Only two and one half weeks to go. Yeah!
