DH and I are spending a couple of nights in Death Velley next year. It's an airb&b place, glamping pods literally in the middle of nowhere. No neighbours for miles - totally isolated. Sounds perfect for an unsociable introvert like myself but the closer it gets, the more I'm starting to worry.
What if one of us gets bitten by a snake, spider or scorpion? The advert specifically states that they can't control the appearance of such things.
What if we get lost and run out of water/petrol and burn to death in the heat? (It's the hottest place on earth). People have died in this way in DV before.
What if we're targeted by wrong uns with guns and DHs glasses fly off?
DH thinks I'm being silly but all these scenarios are possible and with the absence of neighbours or emergency services surely it's risky??
We're seasoned travellers and have done Route 66, New York, south central Los Angeles (there was an art centre there I wanted to see, it wasn't ghetto tourism), the Far East ... why am I so nervous about this one?
Am I being unreasonable?
