Perhaps in Badwater, Death Valley National Park, California

Sunny Isles Beach resident Alex Vinokur holds a copy of the Sunny Isles Beach Community Newspaper at Badwater, Death Valley National Park, California. Badwater, the point Alex Vinokur is standing at, is 282 feet below sea level. This point is the lowest point in North America and the second lowest in the Western Hemisphere. Death Valley National Park is also known as being the hottest and driest place in North America. As the temperature reading on Alex’s speedometer shows, 120 °F or greater are common at the Valley. The many plant species and animals in the Valley have had to adapt to this harsh desert environment.  The highest temperature ever recorded on the continent was also recorded here in 1913, measuring 134 °F by the Weather Bureau's observation station at Greenland Ranch.
