One of the earths big mystery is the Race Track at Death Valley National Park.  I have visited this location a few times.  It’s not easy to get there and you need to make sure you have a vehicle that can you get there.  The race track is a playa that stretches for miles and is usually dry and cracked (like everything else in DV).  The mystery here is that the stone magically moves on the playa and leave their tracks in the dried up mud.  There are many theories about how this happens but no one really has witnessed this.  I believe like many that after a rainstorm the playa fills with a few inches of water and then the crazy winds come in and the wind pushes the rock around and the rock leaves a path of where it came from.  In any case, it makes for some great photos.  These are two for my large collection.  I think you will agree they are pretty cool.
