Oh man, that's terrible. Germans LOVE the Death Valley. I think they try to compensate for their cold / crappy weather totally underestimate exposure. It is not a place to travel in the summer, even in a car. You'll be in trouble as soon as your a/c system goes out.

I was in DV in early May one time, and it was IMPOSSIBLE to go leave the car for more than 30 minutes to check stuff out. It was scary. We were going to drive to those sliding rocks and looking at it being 2+ hour rough road adventure I called it off. Too dangerous. Do it in Winter some time ...
