Death Valley Days

It was hard to chose a few pictures because Death Valley surprised us with lots of different terrain today.
The first picture is of the badlands. Imagine coming across this landscape with your covered wagon!
And I couldn't resist posing for a picture with the thermometer at the national park visitor center this afternoon. Keep in mind that it's dry heat, so it really didn't feel like 110 degrees. And if you believe that...
Here Barb and I are at the salt flats, 282 feet below sea level.
And remember "20 Mule Team Borax?" that's the borax cart minus the mules.
Finally, here are the sand dunes which are quite close to our hotel in Stovepipe
Wells. We are supposed to hike to them tomorrow for sunrise.
