We drove a couple miles up Pleasant Canyon and camped for the night beside a flowing stream in this narrow canyon. We were most surprised by the amount of flowing water we found in the Death Valley area. During the night a wild burro came along to let us know that we had taken his spot. Temperature was cool up in the mountains, but we were shielded from the wind in the canyon.
