Death Valley 2022/23

[Beardilocks]

And now a Failure Report here in several ways.  Lol.  I did not find what I was seeking (evidence of those that went before us) but was rather surprised by what I did find: gorgeous badland type geology.  Thanks Salt Creek!   And I’ll be back for the rest.  You can’t keep all your secrets.  

Old road cut to SPW with a cairn for some reason.  
 



If you turned at that cairn and then turned west you’d make these tracks:


The interesting thing about these is the tread width was about the size of my palm (~3-4”) and only about 4.5-5ft wheel track.  30s tourism? 

Cool canyon I didn’t expect 



Awesome badlands








I followed several old Native American trails in the area. 


Walking back to my truck full of a confusing mixture of beauty and disappointment.
