An Afternoon at the Racetrack!
I recently revisited a spot in Death Valley which I first photographed 7 years ago. The place, called the "Race Track," is located 27 miles from the nearest paved road. To get there you have to drive down a narrow dirt road so bad that 20 MPH seems like we were traveling at breakneck speed! The Race Track is a oval-shaped dry lake about 3 or 4 miles long and a mile wide. At its Eastern end is an outcropping of rocks that really look like a grandstand. The most photographed part of the dry lake bed, though, is at the western end. This first shot is taken from there looking towards the East.
But the interesting subject of the racetrack is not this flat expanse ... it is what's sitting on it!
P.S. I was just reminded that Area 51 isn't very far away! :) Comments

I think someone in a helicopter hooks up to the rocks and drags them around late at night. Notice there is no loose sand in the area? All blown away by the copter.
