Death Valley...Didn't Happen

We elected to skirt Death Valley today.  The Weather Channel, the News Channel, and every other channel for that matter...to include the Cartoon Network...was continually reporting that Death Valley would hit 129 degrees.  I kept picturing Tonto in the middle of the desert with the hood up and steam rising from the engine; two little cartoon skeletons resting against the tires with a bottle of Moet Chandon between them.  One cartoon skeleton would be saying to the other cartoon skeleton "They call this 'Death Valley' for a reason, you know".  Not a good way to end a cross-country trip.

So yes, in a fit of flexibility, we elected to skirt Death Valley.
