I was going to guess the site of Wildrose Station, from the rocks in the background that looks like the foundation.
I’ve seen several tortoises in the general vicinity of the valley. I removed one from the Trona-Wildrose Road north of Trona in the vicinity of the Homewood Canyon road on my commute home to Big Pine from work in Trona. I also have photos of one I came across on the old Southern Pacific Lone Pine Branch in Rademacher Canyon near the turnoff to Ridgecrest from US395 (I was taking photos of the removal of ties and rails in the late 1990s). I’ve seen others, but so long ago I forget details.
