Day 2: April 18, 2011

This road (which turns into route 267 at the Nevada border) also takes you by Scotty's Castle... an oasis of sorts originally built by...

"Walter Scott, Death Valley Scotty, convinced everyone that he had built the castle with money from his rich secret mines in the area. Albert Mussey Johnson actually built the house as a vacation getaway for himself and his wife Bessie. Scotty was the mystery, the cowboy, and the entertainer, but he was also a friend. Albert was the brains and the money. Two men as different as night and day, from different worlds and with different visions - who shared a dream."
