Maybe for some tourists it's the extreme heat and dryness that defines what's unique about the desert experience? Beats me.

Even that well-known search & rescue story of the "Death Valley Germans" dated their van rental from July [0]:

  > The vehicle, owned by Dollar Rent a Car, had been rented to a group of four German tourists in Los Angeles on July 8, 1996.
  > The vehicle had been due back to the rental agency in Los Angeles on July 26, but had never been returned.

Apology accepted, and thank you for a pointer to such a great story.
