	Badwater, Death Valley National Park, California (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The low, salty pool at Badwater, just beside the main park road is probably the best known and most visited place in Death Valley.
		The actual lowest point (-282 feet) is located several miles from the road and is not easily accessible - in fact its position varies, but a sign in front of the pool proclaims it too to have an elevation of -282 feet, and it is here that everyone comes to take photographs.
		Badwater never dries out completely, and even manages to support a unique species of fish - the Death Valley pupfish, a small bluish creature which has evolved to survive in the hot saline conditions.

		It was my job to supervise the third wave of starters that left Badwater just outside of Furnace Creek and ran continuously 24 hours a day until they arrived at the finish line on Mt. Whitney some 135 miles later.

		While the series always has been strong, it is BADWATER --- McKinzie's latest novel --- that fulfills the promise of his previous efforts and that propels him, and Antonio Burns, to must-read status.
		BADWATER finds Antonio Burns sidelined to hunting methamphetamine labs and reporting their presence to his state headquarters, where his reports will be acted upon or, more often than not, consigned to waste in a backwash of budget cuts and mismatched priorities.
		It is while hunting one of these labs that Burns stumbles upon the aftermath of a scene that will ultimately bring the repercussions for his past actions to a head and that will directly and indirectly affect the direction of his life.
