So after being in Yosemite, we decided to check out Death Valley, located just before the Nevada border. Might we agree, when visiting a place called "Death Valley," bad things may occur. The advisory of traveling to this place is in the name, we were warned.
However, Death Valley was a pretty beautiful place. We eventually made it there after a couple unfortunate events...
While traveling down a 13% grade, our first incident occurred when our breaks started smoking.
We had to let our breaks cool down before continuing onward. It was a pretty nice place to have to wait. We couldn't complain about the view.
The other unfortunate incident occurred just before reaching Death Valley. After successfully driving about 8500 miles without getting pulled over, our luck finally ran out. It was the first of the trip and hopefully the last.
After our multiple warnings, we finally made it to Death Valley, CA. We walked around the sand dunes for a while before continuing onwards. Death Valley has the lowest elevation in the country at about 260 feet below sea level.
