Death Valley 2022/23

[Beardilocks]

The collapsed building in your first two photos was still standing in Jan 2020 at least, so that’s a somewhat recent change.

That's nuts.  Once they are down I wish they'd be removed.  But they could have cultural significance, I suppose.  Anyone have an experience with DEVA removing such things like collapsed shacks?

My experience is that they have a completely hands off approach.  Unless they’re actively trying to discourage something.  I’m quite sure they don’t have the staff or the money to clean up these sorts of things (not to mention CAs intense environmental laws about clean up).  

However, I have heard stories about staff (possibly rogue, possibly not) removing as much as possible of the airplane that’s wrecked on Towne Pass.  

Personally I’m happy to let the ruins sit.  Like the old trash dumps out here, everything “old” speaks to the history of the area.
