I love going camping, but specifically out in Yosemite Park or Death Valley! What kind of activities do you like doing?
Close to the NTC,  Death Valley NP is located in the U.S. way out in the desert
What is NTC and NP? And yes it is located out in the desert!
Death Valley National Park is the NP, it is located on the CA/NV border.
Yes it is a national park! Have you visited any other national parks?
I have not! But I have been to DV, it is one of the hottest places in summer, like Africa and the M.E. 
I have not visited Africa! Where did you go in Africa aside from the usual word of mouth that Africa is hot?
I have not been to Africa, but if I did go it would be to the Ivory Coast, aka the Cote d'Ivoire.
