After Death Valley, we went to Edwards Air Force Base. Interesting place. If you ever saw the movie "The Right Stuff" (one of our favorite movies http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086197/ ) then you should be familiar with Edwards. They do testing there. Mostly aviation type.
The campground at Edwards was not very nice. Very small spaces and you are right in the middle of nowhere. The base is not very populated or big in that sense, but in size, it is huge. That way if you have to crash your airplane, like Chuck Yeager had to, you'd have a place to do it. http://www.chuckyeager.com/#/HOME
One day we decided to go to Hollywood. Chris loves everything about Hollywood and movie stars and movies, etc. We drove west over the snow covered San Gabriel Mountains (we think) and down the Topanga Canyon to Hwy 1. We went towards Santa Monica and the pier. We then ended up on Mullholland Drive and Beverly Hills.

We didn't stop anywhere except some pull offs that had fabulous views. It was everything you would think about the area. It was a beautiful, cold day and area. It was President's Day so the traffic was reasonable. There were a lot of "For Sale" signs in Beverly Hills, so if you ever wanted to..... go for it.
