Death Valley 2022/23

[Beardilocks]

I didn’t include these photos in my Lemoigne Canyon post because, at the time, I was still trying to figure out what the heck it was.  I finally have some data on that!  According to an old blog post I found by Ski3pins, it’s the base hardware for the “street” signs added to various places in DV in about 1900-1906.  I had found one previously in Blackwater Wash where the old road/trail crossed the wash mouth.  Others still exist in Cottonwood/Marble Canyons and I’m sure other out of the way places.  

This one was near the confluence of the old Native American/prospector trail from Emigrant and Lemoigne Rd.  The awesome enameled sign that denoted direction and distance to landmarks was stolen long ago by someone unfortunately.
