410--California: Death Valley, a Low Point @ CherieSpotting     Apr 14 2008 - 19:36 PST cherie writes: It may be the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere, but Badwater isn’t all that bad. (But don’t drink the water!) Sure it’s hot in April, but Greg, Karem, Dean and I managed to gather some of the salt-crusted earth and build a small tribute (we called it salt art) to nature in the ninety degree heat. As the sun set, we headed to Ubehebe Crater for a stroll around its lip. Also known as marr volcanoes, Ubehebe and the surrounding craters were formed about 3,000 years ago—which explains all their wrinkles!

Cherie and Greg hitting a low point. Badwater, Death Valley. 282 ft below sea level. Karem and Dean walking on the salt flats. Who says salt is bad for you? The pose. Cherie and Greg enjoying the white. Karem and Dean back to simple happiness. Karem and Dean holding hands. Salt art. If you build it, they will come. Rock salt? Cherie and Karem posing; Dean working. Badwater is a blank canvas. Is there anybody out there? Karem's big smile. Dean snaps a shot. The great salt peak. Karem surrounded by stuff that is likely to increase her blood pressure. That sign says: Sea Level. A salt island. Off to Ubehebe Crater for a sunset stroll around the rim. Admiring the delicate folds of Ubehebe Crater. Wrinkles are beautiful. Our RV in Death Valley, California. A crater at sunset. Greg at the crater's lip. Don't slip! Layers of red earth. Everywhere you look there's some funky pattern in the earth. Death Valley...suffer the beauty. Sunset at Ubehebe Crater. Can you see our RV. (It's that little white spec at the top!) Another look at Ubehebe Crater. Even after the sun goes down, Death Valley is alive with color.
