DEATH VALLEY, CA – Nice dateline, huh?
Following Clemson’s NCAA Regional loss to Pepperdine that ended the Tigers’ baseball season, Nikki and I had two days to kill before the return flight to Atlanta, and there was one destination on the map that kept calling to me: Death Valley.
We got in the rental car and drove up in between the high desert and the Sierra Nevada into a place I had always wanted to visit, paid our fee at an unmanned kiosk and deftly avoided the scorpion hanging around the trash can. And then…there it was…Death Valley.
