Spectacular Dantes View

It was well worth a long drive (a lonely road) to Dantes View. This was our last stop on our first day of journey to Death Valley National Park California. It was already 3:30 pm when we left the main road and it took us about 20 minutes to get there. A 13 mile paved road but the last quarter mile is 15% grade. A steep climb up but so beautiful. Vehicles over 25ft or longer are prohibited on this road. Please watch our short video  Road to Dantes View  to see the road.  There were few cars when we arrived at The Dantes View but those people were out exploring around.

Jamming to the Music

-
Cheap investment but priceless! We bought the Yamaha keyboard for $50 and the guitar with stand for $40 at a garage sale. When Alan saw the guitar, he didn't want to go anywhere until we bought it for him, same thing too with the keyboard. He was more interested on them than on any toys in there. He makes me happy, I wish I know  how to play so I could teach him.

 Here is a short video of him jamming to the music. 

It was raining when I got up this morning. But it's sunny now and a little windy. I officially have colds now and not feeling well. I'm warm but I feel cold. Can't wait to get over this.
Thanks for stopping by

Have fun!
I'm currently living in the land under the midnight sun, the golden heart city of Alaska, and the heart of the last frontier - Fairbanks, Alaska. The winter is long and so is the northern light display. The summer is short but never run short of things to do in the great outdoors.

    Awesome! It's great for kids to learn music. I have a piano and three guitars. I love to play.

    Fabulous. We have all kinds of musical instruments in our house, too. It makes for a lot of fun noise.

    That video was adorable!

    Hello there.
    I think my first comment went up in smoke!
    The video of Alan "jamming" is adorable. I used to play the piano when I was younger...maybe I'll take it up again in the future. What a lovely view you have too! Hope you feel better soon.
    Thanks for sharing.
