My last trip there was looking for wildflowers.



People come from all over to shoot the night sky there. I'll have to find one of my Milky Way photos from there. I'll post them tomorrow.

It really is a cool place, way out in the Northern Mojave Desert, seven miles down a dirt road, and about an hour from Death Valley. The little town of Trona was actually the birthplace of the famous Twenty Mule Teams.

Great job on the Jupiter and moons shot. I've never been able to get that one.
