In yet another act of disregard for our national treasures, someone recently drove a van ¾ of a mile across Badwater Basin salt flats in Death Valley and scarred the protected landscape with deep ugly tire tracks. At 282 feet below sea level, this spot is the lowest point in North America.

The offender had to abandon the stuck van, which was subsequently towed from the basin causing even further damage to the delicate landscape. Authorities were initially alerted to the episode when a Swiss photographer came upon the scene. According to
