Death Valley heat causes tourist to become confused — he drives off cliff and dies

You can safely drive through it and not get out of your air-conditioned car. I wouldn’t do it, because I have an unnatural aversion to the desert, too many westerns where people ended up stranded in the desert when I was a kid. I would avoid Death Valley like the plague. The ONLY way I would go in is 1) My car had been completely checked and been found in perfect condition 2) My gas tank was full 3) I had my trunk filled with water and salty snacks. 4) Even then, I’d try to find a way around it.
