Wendy MacNaughton’s Death Valley Road Trip

We asked illustrator Wendy MacNaughton to keep a diary of her road trip to California’s Death Valley. Here are her drawings from the 1,294-mile drive, along with a road trip soundscape by her driving companion John A. Givens.

Listen to the road trip soundscape by John A. Givens.
