Prologue: A series that showcases the large statues, beautiful temples and churches I visit in my travels or I accidentally come across while taking an off-beaten path. And sometimes yes, I would include buildings and palaces too.
Our trip to Death Valley began coming across the World's Tallest Thermometer in the Baker, CA - commemorating the weather record of 134 deg Fahrenheit in Death Valley on June 10, 1913.
