Description: Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #628 Date of adventure: 4/20/22  Have you ever wondered how the area formerly known as Timbisha got the nickname Death Valley? It all goes back to a group of pioneers who thought they were taking a shortcut to the gold fields of California...but ended up getting stuck in the hottest, driest, lowest desert in North America. Crossing Death Valley on foot is no joke -- let alone with wagons, wives and children! What happened? Join me as I tell the tale. Thanks to imusgeographics.com for use of maps.
