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?

Some years ago my husband and I were crossing the country on our motorcycle. We were in Las Vegas in late August because those were my vacation days. I wanted to see Death Valley, we were so close! My husband said, no, not even at night, as he put cold wet towels on the seat of the motorcycle to cool it down so we could sit on it at 8:00 am in the morning.
He knew what he was saying.

I think some people can just overestimate their ability to cope with something. Find out the consequences later.

Likely because they feel like it. When you take pictures of things why do you do it?

Good question! Those of us over a certain age would be perplexed at the behavior of people today, like standing in Death Valley 🏜 at the highest recorded temperature s ever! That’s exactly why people are doing this! To be seen at the place where a new world record is being made, and to be be seen doing it!

Most routes from Southern CA to Las Vegas do not go through Death Valley. The big thermometer you're talking about is in Baker CA on route 15 which is quite a ways from Death Valley.
