Beyond Stovepipe Wells, I cross Death Valley on Highway 190 and stop to look at the Death Valley Dunes

I wonder what it would be like to go for a short walk out there in this heat. While riding along here, a gust of wind blows some sand into my eyes. Fortunately, I haven't yet experienced one of the Death Valley sand storms that many visitors before me have stories about.
