Some badlands in Death Valley. I always thought the term badlands was just a generic term to describe a really harsh desert environment, but have now learned that it's a very specific geologic feature pertaining to very fine sediments that are constantly shifting so vegetation never gets a chance to take root. If I learned it you have to too.

Interesting bit of information, I didn't know that either. Cool picture too. I wish I had made it out to some of the California National Parks while we lived out there. Oh well. I should have some pictures from Mexico in about a month, hopefully I'll get some good ones.
