Taken from the road between Death Valley and Beatty, Nevada.

Feral burros, the descendants of animals brought in by the Spanish in the 1500's, are quite common in the area of Death Valley. We saw this pair near Beatty, Nevada, on our way out of the park on April 1. We had spent the night in a rest area just inside the east entrance of the park and intended to go to an Easter service in Beatty the next day. Arriving in Beatty we found that the service was already finished and so drove on for a quiet day at Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge south of Beatty and still in Nevada.

I am posting this from a motel in Ridgecrest, California, where we are recuperating after seven days in Death Valley National Park, Ash Meadows National Wildlife Preserve, and Trona Pinnacles. My sudden disappearance from Ipernity was due to the fact that we left on a three week trip a day earlier than planned. Thus, too, I'll not be on the Internet much for another two weeks, during which time we plan on visiting Joshua Tree National Park, Anza-Borrego State Park, and on the way home, Zion and Bryce Canyons in Utah and perhaps some of the other Utah parks. This photo was taken at the beginning of our trip - after driving through the night we arrived in Beatty, Nevada, just outside Death Valley, at sunrise.
