Out at the Racetrack playa in Death Valley, where the "sailing stones" live, there were some fresh tracks!

@elaterite we throw stones in curling because the rocks enjoy it. They'll even curl themselves if we don't help them.

@johnefrancis Ha ha!

This planet is just so awesome. Weird and hard to comprehend at times, but amazing. Great photo.

I love that place! Haven't been in a decade.

What are the flowers like in the park now? I've been wanting to get there, but being sick last week screwed up a bunch of plans.

@ewen Thank you! But, it was more fun when they weren't sure how the rocks moved.

@Mikal Mostly desert gold. Here's the park service website tracking the bloom:
