I watched that. It was very interesting.

[ummmm]

Probably just me but I just thought it was a little bit boring.

I spent a couple of hours at Furnace Creek, or very close to it in a road trip out West in 1992. It is so hot there, that I thought it closed down in the summer months. It certainly wasn't fully open in early September.

Death Valley is a place that I would gladly go back to again. I thought it fascinating, although punishingly hot. We went to an abandoned gold mine and saw a Coyote, as well as a rattlesnake. I also recall picking fresh dates from the palm trees around the swimming pool....the best dates I have ever tasted !

But, bloody hell....it was terribly hot !

I guess the coyote sequence last night was filmed in the Spring.

I liked the Mustangs.

Tilly....I am not really a horse-person, but I must admit that the mustangs looked marvellous !

Yes. That little one was called Sally. :-)
