Marta Becket and Death Valley

So I went to Death Valley for vacation, and FYI it is in Southern California in USA. I had to ride on the car from San Diego, the most southern tip of California to Death Valley, which is about 6-8 hours. There is an inn, called Amargosa Opera House and Hotel. Marta Becket, the owner, is a world famous singer/actress/dancer/choreographer/painter that sings at the Opera House. She performs on Saturdays and Sundays, and also Holidays. She painted the interior of the hotel, and she's really good. (which means better than me and I'm considered very good) Interesting facts:
  • Badwater Basin, which is located in Death Valley, is the lowest point in North America
  • It is 282 feet below sea level
  • It was named Badwater Basin because of its ill tasting water
  • Death Valley is considered the hottest, most driest place in the US
  • It used to be full of Borax (White Gold) Mines
If you have an idea about what to write about next time, please post it as a comment.
