Hot & Hotter

It's 11:00 am here in Las Vegas and 98 degrees. The projected high for the day is 103. But that's not hot enough for us intrepid adventurers - we head to Death Valley this afternoon. Where the high today will be 112, but it's expected to cool down to 108 by 6:00 pm, when we should arrive.
