Couple From DV

I’m trying to sort through the shots from the Death Valley trip Susan and I and our friend Rachel took over Memorial Weekend. In the meantime here’s a couple of Rachel’s that she sent; the first taken in the entryway of one of the park’s 120-something-year-old kilns and the second one of me rolling down …
