station. To me, that’s hell. But unlike hell,
Death Valley has seasons that change, and
temperatures there moderate with the on-
set of winter, cooling to a very comfortable
66 degrees in January and 81 in March.
Golf, of course, has always been a popular
antidote to skiing: warm and casual as op-
posed to freezing and frenetic. At the Fur-

than200 feet below sea level, whichmakes
it the lowest in theworld.

a band before they rocket to
sold-out stadium concerts. Be-
sides, any event that can draw
an eclectic bunch likeDevo, Ice
Cube, and Van Morrison has
