California, 3rd November, around Furnace Creek resort
After watching the sunrise at Zabriskie Point, we made breakfast in the car park and then went back to our campsite in Furnace Creek to check in as the office had been closed the previous evening. We also went to the large visitor centre by the garage and the Borax Museum, which is in the middle of the resort. This museum is pretty interesting and it is possible to wander round various carts and an engine, relics of the Harmony Borax Works just up the road. The resort has lots of cabins based around a green area and a swimming pool. We were attracted to voices and music coming from the tennis court and found a line dancing lesson in progress. The teacher tried to get us to join in, even I would have significantly lowered the average age. We declined but watched for a bit. Caught in action it does look a little like something out of 'Return of the Living Dead'!
