Death Valley

Within half an hour of getting into our motel room, I headed up to the registration desk to cancel our second night. The room had air conditioning, plus a fan and it was still so hot it was uncomfortable. There was no way to get anything but hot water out of the taps and everytime we went outside, one of us burned something. We burned ourselves on seat belts, on motel door handles, on metal railing by the restaurant and I can't remember what all else. It is certainly a place you need to experience to believe, but it's believable in one day...no need to stay longer!!
Hanging out inside where we didn't completely melt.

As the sun started to go down, things cooled off and the kids went outside to play baseball. I'm sure it must have gotten down below 100. It wasn't cool enough for me to join in the game.

I did manage to sit outside a read at 6:30 the next morning. It was actually very pleasant until about 8:00 when I was chased back inside again.


Kelly decided it was too hot to walk around and tried to steal a golf cart.
