Many tourists come to Death Valley, European & American each year.
The Desert holds a strange attraction and beauty, there are
a lot more things to see and do than I show here, such as a
ride on the famous 20 mule team wagons.

You Climb the mountains on a 8 1/2 percent grade to almost 5000 feet.
then you start the winding decent on a 9 1/2 percent grade into
 heat like you have never seen before. I have been in many hot places
in the USA such as Yuma, Arizona! But I have never seen
Hot like in Death Valley.  I seen a few birds walking around with
their wings open and beaks open like dogs panting.
The valley changes about every 5 miles, from sand dunes
to stalks of grass called the devil's corn field and finally to
cracked ground at sea level then still descending further
to a staggering hot -285 feet below sea level..
Death Valley Scotty was a prospector who claimed to
have a gold mine (that no one has ever found)
and lived in a castle he claimed to be his, but most agree
a friend of his named Johnson and his wife built and paid for it,
and supported Scotty. If you go to Death Valley maybe you
will be the lucky one to find Scotty's gold,
It's to hot for me to look.......
