Badwater

 My parents and Uncle Bill and Aunt Patty joined us for our the Rhyolite trip, and we then stopped for lunch in Nevada before heading back to Death Valley highlights. We stopped at the visitors center in Furnace Creek, and then drove to Badwater, the lowest point in the United States at 282 feet below sea level.

Cora and Grandma took a long walk into the salt flats of Badwater Basin, where Grandma got this cool photo of Cora on the salt. 


Vi and I didn't venture as far, but we still found chunks of salt to investigate. 

So strange! One of those interesting phenomena worth checking out at least once!
The rectangle speck two-thirds of the way up the mountain is the sign demarcating Sea Level.

The long, salty walk back to the car.
