Epic Death Valley Trip
I went on a trip to death valley with my parents and grandparents. Of course I took pictures.

The last picture looks amazing!

Thanks. I would take credit for it, but the fact is when driving through that part of the country you don't really need to have any particular skill, something great is bound to pop up for you to take a picture of.
Wow! Very real and lively photos.
The 1st & the last pictures are extra ordinary.
Tell me again why it is called Death Valley =x

lolol Summer temperatures of 130 degrees and annual average 2 inches rain a year (or zero in some parts). Temperatures so hot the pavement will melt your sneakers if you stand on it too long, and hikers dying every year, in their last minutes scratching up their blackened tongues, parched from thirst.
@phantomFive -
You lie about the hikers
o.o
@NightPrancer -
I didn't see any of those hikers that ended like that. I read it in a book, but who knows? It does sound very interesting. I certainly wasn't one of those hikers.
@phantomFive -
Are you sure your sneakers can melt?
o.o
@NightPrancer -
Yeah. Supposedly the pavement gets to 200 degrees. I think it mainly melts the sneaker glue, though.......I've had that happen, but not in death valley
@NightPrancer -
I should add that people who run through death valley often try to run on the white line on the edge of the road, since that is cooler than the black stuff.
Yaaaay death valley! The stars there were so nice! Must've been a nice escape for you guys!

I was pretty excited when I saw there were wildflowers
@phantomFive -
life in *death* [valley]
Alaska has lovely wildflowers too! Which I thought to be surprising back when we visited (I might've been in elementary then, so I thought all of AK was perpetually frigid).
@phosphor_stars -
You seem so excited today. Maybe you finished your big orgo exam?
@phantomFive -
I finished my big physiology exam, but I have upcoming Latin and Orgo exams. -_- Nonetheless, I took today as a completely off day. I did absolutely no school work, but I did clean a lot and got to see my family. (: yay! But I guess I'll have to pay for it tomorrow. Haha...:[
