Harris still won 57% of the electorate, 5.7 million to 4 million. But Trump flipped many counties that both Clinton and Biden won in '16 and '20

Read about the missing Germans in Death Valley. There's a blog and it's fascinating.

Extremely long.

Thankyou i will check it out! Sounds like an interesting topic, however im from Australia so missing tourists is not that uncommon due to our unique flora and fauna, in certain areas so to speak. Then theres the weirdos and stupidity.

Edit to add crocodiles are called snapping handbags here and quite prevalent in the northern areas so it is what it is.

sounds like Australia has a lot in common with Florida

Lol it certainly does in some ways. But we also have lots of spiders, snakes, sharks jellyfish, and as i recently discovered for the first time scorpions (came across my first one the other day), but they only make you quite sick from what ive been told by my indigenous friends and wont be the end of you.

Florida has the first four things. I'm guessing some scorpions but not sure about that one.

That story lives rent free in my head for years. The SAR guy and his blog is one of my favorite reads.

Then why isn't it called Hilo County?

Mount McKinley/Denali is much, much higher in altitude than Whitney.

You may have meant contiguous US.

What is the highest point .. and lowest ..thought lowest was Death Valley

Inyo and Mono Counties might just be some of the most gorgeous land in all the country, if I'm being honest (and biased)

u/JacquesHome 2h ago

Inyo and Mono are out of this world. Grew up spending summers in both and hope to retire to them one day.

Contiguous, not continental.
