12 May Death Valley

The name conjours up everthing, it does not like me as I have just lost a page of pure description by a master by pressing something I know not what.

Across two mountain ranges from Lone Pine and 100 miles away lies the valley of Death Valley. Up to 7500ft down to 4000ft up again then down many roads straight down for 8 miles at 1 in 14 undulating but that is quite steep in a straight line other sections twisting round everything.

Scenery on way in is barren mountain rock and rubble type rock plus dessert scrub quite souless and indeed sections could well be from Dante Inferno.

Hot oh so hot it just drains your soul away, at least thats how it felt 103 degrees no shade, thats 40 degrees C if you have finally given up on Farenheight. Some people seemed impervious to it but they are all probably suffering sunstroke now! At base level -258ft we saw a scummy looking pool of poisenous water vaste expanses of arid nothingness and little e In fairness to the Valley the mountain rock formations are distinctive and like nothing we had seen before. Many many different types of rock created by different enviromental factors mainly earth quakes which still occur and wich are gradually lowering the valley floorand . The valley sits between two tectonic plates both pushing upwards and separated by the width of the valley 5 to miles as the two plates push up they force the floor downwide. The colours in the rock faces are best described as an artist's pallet with drives called the artists' way etc. Our monster was unfrotunately too big to go down some of these but most could be seen from the mainish road in the Valley.
