Well, that settles it, I am NOT moving to Death Valley. I was going to go there and open a crushed ice concession, but with these temps, it would end up as “crushed steam”.
And I had such high hopes,too.
Haven't needed them yet, knock on wood.
It's nice that they have the radiator water going up and out of there. My car had never overheated before. BTW, it was Daylightpass Rd, 374, that I was on. For some reason, I was craving a chocolate milkshake and stopped at a diner in Beatty, then headed home to Boulder City. I'd like to go back to Death Valley again and explore it some more, but this time I'll go in the winter. It's hellish there in the summer!
Aptly Named, it is.
Greenland - During the Medieval Warm Period, the coastline from the southern tip to midway up the western shore, was green (forested). The trees were cleared and the lands converted to pasture lands. As many as 10,000 Vikings lived there, with hundreds of farmhouses, dozens of churches, and a bishop. Upon the onset of the Little Ice Age, these Vikings had to leave. Today, with the receding glaciers, these Viking settlements are being revealed.
If the sex-crazed poodle (The Goron) hasn’t started braying about this as “evidence” of global warming, just give him 10 more minutes.
Greenland-why do you think it got that name?....Actually (So I’ve read) Iceland was habitable, So the Vikings named it ICeland. Greenland was icebound so they named it Greenland. It was a matter of defense, supposedly.
Good visual supporting photos!!
And a place in Michigan already had HELL.
They don’t call it death valley because the weather is perfectly fine there.
Looks like official weather station at the national park in my area, ten feet from asphalt parking lot on one side and twenty feet from road on other, totally useless data. But it’s totally neutral scientific data ! In a pugs eye!
Hey, Death Valley is where I spent 2 of the BEST days of my life, Honeymoon.
Nothing says lets get nekid like 120 f

SPF 1,000 sun screen.
