for those that feel warm today July 29, 2016, 03:49:52 pm And I quote from Death Valley National Park's Facebook page .......Death Valley National Park"Hottest July 28th on record! Yesterday's official high was 126°F (52.2°C). Last night's low didn't get below 101°F (38.3°C)!! 😰Our visual thermometer at the Visitor Center IS NOT accurate, as the official temperature must be taken in the shade. It makes for a great photo op though! The highest recorded temperature ever was taken here in July 1913, 134°F. #hottestplaceonearth"And a few images from March 2014 in DVNP 1 Likes
Re: for those that feel warm today Reply #1 – July 29, 2016, 04:02:39 pm Well Amigos ... we have a long list of travel plans on our list. And at the bottom of a very long list is a visit to Death Valley when it's hot! In fact, I'm doing my best to avoid any serious heat. I wish DW and I could be finished with extended family responsibilities so that we can find cooler weather this time of year. Fingers crossed ... maybe soon!

Re: for those that feel warm today Reply #6 – July 30, 2016, 06:40:52 pm LOVE all the baby pix...especially Kent's "True criminals-both"--but with those temps I think even a hairless chihauhua would be overheated, much less those poor dears with full fur coats.HILOLA said, "Note to self: avoid Death Valley in July!" & Traxless said, "...at the bottom of a very long list is a visit to Death Valley when it's hot!" Amen!Ed D said, "Most people you find in Death Valley, or the Florida Everglades, in July, are avoiding their probation officer." I dunno--after 16 years in the MO Dept. of Corrections, it seemed most of my clients weren't that serious about changing playmates & playgrounds...too much work; in fact, several told me they were headed for Sturgis when they got out--which is why many were doing Life On The Installment Plan (I was so green, I'd never even heard of Sturgis, 'til I went to prison).I tend to be in the "humidity, not the heat" camp--9:30ish this morning in north Missouri, 78 degrees felt like it was pushing 90!
