Death Valley 2022/23

[Beardilocks]

Fascinating. I’ve never heard of Mother Woods.

There’s actually quite a bit to see of all the Greenwater area camps. Even the cemetery; though it takes some close scrutiny to find the graves. The most ruins lie at the original Greenwater location. At the Ramsey location (where the old AAA sign is) you can actually spot the old main street by subtle changes in the vegetation and the grade itself. And of course, the ever present cans. I think the Tin Age had its peak in Death Valley. There’s a bit to Furnace as well. And if you take the road between the Greenwater-Calumet mine and Furnace there are several other small mine camps with visible ruins.

I enjoy taking 8”x10” historic photos with me in the field, positioning myself as close as possible to the photographer’s location, and recreating the image for a then and now perspective. If anyone’s interested, I can put up my Greenwater images that I used on my old website in another thread.

I would love that!

I would love to get a period photo of Mother Woods as well to do the same thing.  That would be awesome.
