# 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!

- **u/DeathValleyVet** (resident, score 0, id `48d`): 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.
- **u/BucketListGoner** (resident, score 0, id `48e`): 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!
- **u/GordonGoesGlobal** (resident, score 0, id `48f`): 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?
- **u/ThermometerFan100** (resident, score 0, id `48g`): 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. 🌡️😂
- **u/AintNoSunshineLover** (resident, score 0, id `48h`): 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.
- **u/DesertRat22** (resident, score 0, id `48i`): 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.
