  1. High of 120F (air temp) expected in Death Valley today.

    (Standard advice: take several gallons of extra water in your vehicle, don't travel offroad without multiple vehicles and ability to be stranded in heat, definitely don't take your rental sedan out there, stay with your car if it breaks down, stay in the shade, let someone know where you are going and when you're coming back, don't go hiking at all in summer unless you want to get heatstroke and die... etc. etc. On second thought, the smart thing is to go there in winter, and forget the heat!)

  3. "DEATH VALLEY, Calif. — A 68-year-old French visitor died Monday, Aug. 17, after he and a traveling companion became stranded on a remote road in Death Valley National Park.

    Pierre Michel Formosa, 68, and his travel companion, both from France, were traveling on West Side Road when their vehicle became stuck in mud near Queen of Sheba Mine Road. With no other vehicles in the area, the men began walking across the salt flats toward Badwater Road to seek assistance. Temperatures reached 116°F that day. After about 1.3 miles, the man was unable to continue. His companion continued toward Badwater Road, where he eventually received assistance from a passing motorist and reported the incident at the Furnace Creek Visitor Center shortly after 2 p.m."

  17. ADORO IL GENIO - VALE

    Cosa serve per creare uno spot unico? Un pizzico di #creatività, fotografia da #blockbuster, un tocco d'ironia, buoni attori, una storia inverosimile, una stracazzo di macchina e l'idea di un #comarketing tanto folle quanto vero.
    Vale? Vale.

  18. Racetrack Grandstand Mirage

    If you don't like your car too much, take a drive down to the Racetrack in Death Valley National Park. It's a dry lakebed that sometimes has mysterious rocks roving the playa.

    For someone like me, the first instinct is to think of Death Valley National Park as being mostly wilderness, and then to associate that with the idea that it is a place of little or no human presence. In truth there’s virtually no place in the world where we have not left a mark… and there are many examples in this park. They range from evidence of long-ago native populations and their descendants who still live there to the rather astonishing number of old mining sites. No matter where you go in this park., you are bound to see these things.
