I would come up with names to entertain the kids. Scotty's Castle became Scottie Pippen's Castle.
It gets cold there around Christmas. He didn't like posing for this one.

This is more to their liking ...
Can't remember the name of this mine. Think it starts with a K. It's on the way to Beatty. I actually got my old butt up that thing as well. It looks
like there is no way up but it's amazing what you can do once you make up your mind. Coming down is more fun. You just slide and then you're airborne.
Many of the canyons have this beautiful marble-like rock that becomes exposed by the running water forming a smooth lily white surface. I'm always
watching out for these extrusions(?). The light in the canyon made the picture bluer than it really is.

It was so cold this year the first part of November I almost didn't want to stay out of the truck long enough to take a pix. Love your name---fits
well. 
Jim, my son has told me that the view from the tops of the Eureka Sand Dunes is incredible, and from your beautiful photos, he is correct.
I so want to see them, but not sure I will make it to the top at this age and condition.

Taken from the lookout where the busloads of people set up their cameras.
It's hard not take a stunning shot of this place. Probably one of the top 10 photo sites in California I would guess. The possibilities down there are
endless.

Wonderful photos Ken! I have seen those pinnacles at Trona a few years ago when we made a road trip to Furnace Creek in the winter time. It was late
afternoon when we passed through Trona and there was a haze around the pinnacles that made it look like an alien planet. My brother stopped the truck
to take pictures it looked so weird.

We must be from different generations, Jim.
Your generation: Sweet; Radical; Chill out
My generation: Boss; Groovy; Far out

Way back in my junior high days, it would have been, b-tchin, man, just b-tchin.
And it is great light.
