Death Valley, California

I got this from Aunt Illene.
Scotty's Castle Death Valley Ranch.
Show place of Death Valley took 10 years to build and cost 2 million dollars. Built in its entirety on a Spanish motif. Everything on the inside is as lavish as it is on the outside. Up Grapevine Canyon are 6 springs producing 200 gallons of water per minute year round...Enough water to turn a generator for electricity production at the castle. There is no shortage of water, fresh air, sunshine or grapevies at Scotty's Castle. There are thousands of railroad ties behind the castle; brought in to be used as firewood in the 14 fireplaces of the castle. It was discovered that the ties were full of creosote and when burned produced an unpleasant odor and thick black smoke. The freight bill for the railroad ties was $25,000! All construction ceased with the economic disaster of 1929. Several projects are incomplete.
