Death Valley: Badwater Basin At Night

Ironically, one of the best videos of the entire trip only contains audio. It was breathtaking, exhilarating, frightening, and nerve-wracking to be literally the only person at Badwater Basin in the middle of the night. I had a GPS. There aren't ANY lights out there, even at the Badwater Basin bathroom building (that's a quadruple B for you amazing alliteration aficionados).
