Ok, so why would vacationers in Death Vally California want to stand around taking
pictures of themselves with park rangers in front thermometers showing 132 degrees at visitor centers.

That extreme heat is a earthly crisis by many, not a reason to celebrate.

Do I need to do a better job when planning my vacation?

Just for some to say they were there when it happened. Traveled there once never going back.

Same reason tourists take their picture at the top of Pike's Peak by the sign showing the elevation.

Better job than what?

Same reason they take selfies with wild animals.

That's not extreme heat for them. 100 years ago July 10th of 1913 the temperature in Death Valley hit 134 degrees. Dropped 2 degrees in 100 years maybe that's why they were posing for the photo.

WHOA! Off topic, but one more reason I don’t want to fly anymore.

If you live in Southern California and drive to Vegas you go through Death Valley. There’s a huge thermometer there encouraging picture taking. It’s the hottest place on earth, so they say. Why would you NOT take a picture?

Respectfully, why do you care?

Perhaps. They are checking a bucket list item. Not an issue to me. To each his/her own.

I guess

Because they can, DUH.

Because it's easier and cheaper to travel to Tunisia that gets just as hot.

Post #7, 111 degrees? Jail time or serious fine for captain and airline/airport (IMHO).
