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,
