Hey, I Hate Being Below The Sea

So no one figured out yesterdays destination so here is photo two, that I hope will help you out. If not tomorrows will surely give it away.

About 7 years ago I was given the chance to try scuba diving, so I thought "What the heck? I'll try it!" Well I got a wet suit on, an air tank and some flippers, quite a sight I'm sure you'll imagine and headed into the sea at Catalina Island. I swam 10 yards and got about 6 inches under water when I decided scuba diving wasn't for me and promptly got out of the water and vowed never to go below the surface of the sea again. Until that is I visited the place you see above. It is 282 feet below sea level and is the lowest land elevation in North America and 8th on the list worldwide.
