Found this 'paradise' in Death Valley, CA

Sooo, ended up in this godforsaken hole they call Furnace Creek. Thought the name was just for funsies. Nope. Thermometer showed it was a nice crispy 130oF (54oC). Didn't see a single soul there. Dunno what I was thinking when I decided to explore Death Valley in the summer! Downright worst place to be!

Love the desert, especially Death Valley. It gets scary hot but it's not all bad. There's a certain magic in the emptiness and the ruggedness if you know where to look.

Aw man, I hate the heat. Makes me remember why I always stick to places where the sun doesn't wanna burn me to a crisp. Props to you though, for surviving it.

I mean, it's only 130. That's like, barely enough to cook an egg, mate. Really not that bad. Next time take an oven mitt or sumin. 🌡️😂

Ah mate, that takes me back. I did Furnace Creek on my US backpacking trip a couple years ago. The heat was something else! I think I drank like 5 litres of water and still felt parched. Somehow, there's a strange beauty to the desolation, I reckon. Took some of my best photos there. Just got to respect the heat and plan ahead, ya know?

Dang, I've always wanted to do the Death Valley run but never got a chance yet. Thanks for the heads up though, will avoid the furnace creek for sure. Keep smashing it!

Ayy bruh, Furnace Creek ain't the worst, trust me. Just wait until you hit Badwater Basin during a heat wave. That’s when it really gets toasty. Try going during the cooler months next time. And make sure your car's AC is not acting funny.
