Badwater, Death Valley

Badwater, Death Valley

Old photos from Badwater, Death Valley, the lowest point in North America at 282 feet below sea level. Ok, the lowest point that isn't underwater, if you really want to split hairs.

Given the name, you might be curious about what the water's like. You're in luck, because I went ahead and tried a drop or two of the stuff. It tastes the way you'd expect desert salt flats water would taste: Salty, kind of alkaline, probably with other goop dissolved in it. I wouldn't have willingly drunk more of it, I'll put it that way.
