Death Valley NP, Aug 17 - Part 2

Death Valley National Park, the hottest and driest of the national park in US. It also feature the lowest point in North America at Badwater Basin, which is 282 feet (85.5 meters) below sea level.

The picture on the right "Sea Level" sign is the enlarge picture of the yellow circle in picture on the left, where the "Sea Level" sign located. (You also can click on the picture to enlarge it, you will see very clearly!) Look at the distance between our car and the sign, we were 85.5 meters below sea level.










Walked on the below sea level, the feeling was awesome!!


See my feet!! I am on the below sea level ground!!


Badwater Pool (click the picture to enlarge it, if you wanna learn more about it.)




This is the closer view of the badwater.


Below photos I took in the car, while we drove through the Death Valley...

Hmmm, I wonder why they call this a Death Valley... Anyhow, the pictures seem very nice and it doesn't entail that that place is a road to death or whatever sort.

I miss you all... I've been really really busy in school and in my real estate career. I have one of our Boston photos on my blog. Don't forget to drop by Kikey!
