Daniel, a big, vocal, imposing man was disappointed. Being very outspoken, even though we try to tell him voicing one's opinion only makes it worse, he naturally had something to say about it. Wrong thing to say. Shortly after that outburst, the boss announced we would be opening a research facility in Death Valley. As I ran down the hallway I could hear Daniel pleading not to be transferred.
Death Valley is located in the California desert, with parts stretching into the Nevada desert.
It is a remote and lonely place. It is a harsh desolate environment that is one of the hottest places on earth. In 1849 the California Gold Rush was in full swing. People from all over the world came to California to seek their fortune. Some ended up in this place inhabited by the Shoshone Indians.
