(My route today: Sequoia NP, CA -> Death Valley, CA -> Las Vegas, NV)
Day #41: I love testing my limits. There's no other time you would feel more alive and appreciate being alive. We drove through Death Valley in 113+ heat for the afternoon. I didn't dare turn on the A/C for fear the car battery would die with the hills it had to take on as well. It was also the first time I had been turned away from staying at an NPS campsite due to the harsh climate. Luckily so since the Circus Circus in Vegas stay was only $30 a room and gave us a chance to shower in a while.
