Death Valley is the hottest place on Earth. In July 1913, five consecutive days of 129°F or above were recorded in Death Valley. On July 10, 1913 a reading of 134 degrees Fahrenheit was taken, the world record hottest air temperature.
Since the 1848 discovery of gold in California, Death Valley has experienced over 140 years of boom and bust mining.
Harmony Borax Works was famous for the Twenty Mule Team wagons used to transport the partially refined borax.
Beside gold and silver mining, prospectors scoured the mountains for antimony, copper, lead, zinc, and tungsten in the early 1900's.

Why go to Mount Rushmore National Monument and Crazy Horse Memorial in an RV
The Adventure Travelers (Mike and Melissa) drove through South Dakota in a 30 foot Sunseeker RV and stopped for a visit at both Mount Rushmore National Monument and Crazy Horse Memorial. This video explains the memorials and why you should go visit in the off season in your RV.
Mount Rushmore was completed in 1941 by Lincoln Borglum, who was the son of the original sculpture, Gutzon Borglum, who started the monument. Carved in solid granite, the 60 foot high monument depicts Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
The monument is solid but fragile because of environmental factors like snow, extreme temperatures, rain cracks and more. The monument requires constant care and monitoring.
We were there during April/May and there was still snow on the ground in South Dakota so some of the hiking trails were closed.
We felt the closed trails was worth the empty visitors center and parking lots! The parking is $10 and you can get in free with a United States National Park Pass (about $80 per year). It wsa a little tight getting through the parking gate but we managed. There were plenty of open parking spots for RVs.
Once you see the monument there is not much else to do, so we cruised around in the museum, which was actually very cool and great for all ages. We like the exhibit where you can blow up a mountain side!
One of the sculptors of Mount Rushmore was actually commissioned to create the neighboring Crazy Horse monument.
The Crazy Horse Memorial was started in 1941 and is about a twenty minute drive away from Mount Rushmore. The sculpture has no finish date, but when completed will be the largest sculpture in the world. Korczak Ziolkowski was commissioned by Henry Standing Bear. Ziolkowski included his entire family in this effort and many of the family members still work on the memorial and other projects on the property including the Indian Museum of North America and the Indian University of North America. The fees depend on the number of people but our fee was $22 plus $8 for the school bus ride up to the base of the mountain. You can pay $150 per person to go up close and get personal with the monument too. The gift shop was amazing and included authentic gifts. The museum was spectacular and includes about a 45 minute video that explains the monument and the special family who has dedicated their lives to this incredible creation. The museum was huge with many rooms filled with artifacts, beading work and stunning pieces of Indian clothing. I could have stayed all day!

Some of these will shock some people, some will anger others, the fact is someone has to be the worst and those are the states on this list. Some have high crime rates and need more law enforcement. Some have bad drivers and traffic and you need good car insurance. Whatever the reason these states are here on this list.

Thanks for stopping by The world according to Briggs, I make lists. Not just lists of random stuff, I make them about states, cities, towns and other places in the United States. I post 3 times a week and sometimes live stream. Enjoy.
