Badwater Basin
In 2003 on my cross country pilgrimage riding my (2000 R1100R) BMW, its rear bearing gave up coming into Las Vegas. After spending the weekend waiting for parts and loosing money in the Flamingo casino I was on my way again to cautiously pass through Death Valley. Because I became dehydrated on the highway while waiting to be rescued I made sure my bike was well stocked with water after packing to leave the Inn at Furnace Creek in 121 degrees.
