Daily Photo – From the Racetrack Road

The racetrack road runs south from Ubehebe Crater to the Racetrack Playa in National . It's a rough, washboarded road and can be quite an uncomfortable trip. The pieces are jagged and sharp and there's not enough room to pass someone coming in the other direction. That's how we got our flat – we punctured the sidewall while pulling over to let someone pass. We were all surprised to see someone in a regular sedan driving along this road. It's not a place to take your own vehicle. This is a view to the north, taken during a break somewhere south of Ubehebe Crater and north of Teakettle Junction.
