I didn't know they close down DVNP after Easter. I do know that the Furnace Creek Golf Course is open year 'round and you can have a round of golf in July on one of the cool 127 degree days. I believe proof of a will and testament is required before starting the round. :-)
As for Mono Lake. If I recall correctly, that's where the Clint Eastwood movie High Plains Drifter was filmed as the "fictious" town of Lago. Hope you have a good time in the desert. 73, Jeff WB3JFS ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edward R.
