It was extraordinary alright. Every day we’ve spent here has been special really, but this one was over the top.

It’s hard to beat, as long as you know what you’re getting here and come in the right season. Definitely worth the journey.

I couldn’t argue the point. Every day we’ve spent here has been memorable in one way or another.

What? Definitely you should go. France has nothin’ like this!

I noticed that afterwards also, but not at the time - I was just trying to get a good shot of the water.

Yes, we dressed for the occasion. I congratulated Rachael for planning ahead to match the blue of the lake.

This post reminds why I think Death Valley is the most awesome place on earth.

An extraordinary day! It seems as if folks delighted in sharing their good fortune in experiencing the transient lake. Thanks for sharing with us.

Wow, what a day. So glad you included Death Valley in your itinerary.

Great shot of you two! I love Rachael's shirt, and the Bassano jersey is pretty cool, too.

Great journal entry! As a native Californian, I'm ashamed that I've never been to Death Valley. Will have to fix that someday.

Adorable!!

Most pictures seem to not show the steepness of roads. This one is an exception. That looks steep!!

That is some spectacular scenery for sure. I’ve heard of Badwater because of the ultramarathon that happens there but hadn’t really thought of it as a cycling destination. Definitely looks worth checking out.

WoW, simply WoW. I know what you mean, could you get any better a day? Similarly, as we cycled in Europe during Covid too. Having no crowds and places all to ourselves, it will be hard to return to places we visited, knowing that it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to be there without the crowds. Wow, Rachel, so tanned and healthy and what a view! Congrats to a fab day, thanks for sharing!
