We left Las Vegas for a new adventure. This time less cosmopolitan - nature calls. Mammoth Lakes “here we go” for a 6h drive long, but not earlier than to get into the hottest point of Earth (at least in July) as the name specifies – Death Valley! It records the highest reliably reported temperature in the Western hemisphere, 134 °F (56.7 °C) at Furnace Creek on 10th July, 1913, just close of the world record, 136 °F (57.8 °C) in Al 'Aziziyah, Libya, on 13rd September, 1922.
However, Death Valley still remains the hottest July temperature ever recorded, the month that we went to. I never felt so stunned, uncomfortable, even with mirages. The hot temperature associated with strong winds made a real effort just the act of walking. For curiosity, there was 2 sight points and only we stopped on the second one, as was the painful temperature. On the second sight view there was anyone, if we fainted, there was anyone that could rescue us. It is astonishing - the human could not fight Nature.
Raven fought hard each other for food and they remained near a village in Furnace Creek ranche.
