Why do people post questions to TOTV, that have nothing to do with anything relevant to anyone other then themselves... and every single day?

Same could be said for a bunch of old retired people standing out on the golf course in 95° heat a 90° dewpoint, and 95% humidity

Not much else to do in Death Valley, I suppose...

The road from Los Angeles to Las Vegas (Interstate 15) does not go through Death Valley. The thermometer you are talking about is in Baker, CA, 100 miles south of Death Valley.

Death Valley temperature, weather: Heat draws visitors to park

I have been to Death Valley but only because I needed to get to what was on the other side.

Now venturing to the coldest place on earth or the deepest would be a lot a harder as would the highest.

What’s wrong with taking a picture? It was cooler in 1913.

No you don't go thru Death Valley from SoCal to Vegas.

Look at a map.

It's also not the hottest place on earth.

It's not true. Outside temp was 111.

But people like to be outraged.

It's interesting to see a cllck bait thread go from who cares to the route from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and swerve to airplane temperatures (inside or out). More to come.
