Look familiar? Break out your copy of the original Star Wars movie. This is Tatooine. The sand dunes are north of here, also appearing in the movie.
Here is a whole home improvement center’s worth of sheetrock. Just peel and stick on some cardboard.
Apparently not noticing what’s right there beside them, Karla and Hilary pass a whole canyon-side of mud crystals, a very rare phenomenon.Saturday was a day for doing some serious hiking. We only drove about 30 miles round trip, but it feels like we hiked 50! First, up Golden Canyon. The scenery was spectacular, and we got a slight feeling of déjà vu when we spotted one of the settings for a scene in the original Star Wars movie.
It was as much a geology field trip as a sightseeing venture. From what I’ve heard, Death Valley has more geology than any other place on earth. It’s wall-to-wall geology, plus more. I’ll have more in a later blog.

Did you get any closeups of the mud crystals? I'd like to see them.
I really like to play with those fish. Where do they go on the right hand side? Am I abusing animals when I tease them with their food?
The odd thing about mud crystals is that when you approach them, they metamorphose into columns of dirt. They can only be observed from a distance, and at low power.
Glad you like the fish. Being digitally created, they can only be abused by starving them of electrons.
