Death Valley

After Las Vegas, first a long way of empty landscape. For lunch, we found this:

Then Death Valley. Dante's View. An amazing view of the hottest place on earth. 

When we arrived on the lowest place in the USA (85 m below sea level), the thermometer announced 50°C.

It was 6:30 p.m. But still blistering hot: 

At night, we arrived in Lone Pine. A very friendly little place.

 Now, we drive on to Sequoia NP. We go camping for 8 nights. Fingers crossed we don't meet a hungry bear!
