Parks Service begs people to clean up after themselves

Death Valley "littered with eggs"

With the record high temperatures in Death Valley this week, people are flocking to the park to try and fry an egg on the sidewalk. The problem being, they don't pick up after themselves. Death Valley is becoming littered with cooked and partially cooked raw eggs, eggshells scattered everywhere, and empty egg cartons just lying around.

If you must try cooking an egg, the Parks Service implores you to cook it in a skillet first. Or at the very least, pick up your mess after you are done!
