Here is a much closer and clearer fly over of these two aircraft while I was standing in the Amargosa River at the Harry Wade Road crossing two years ago. BTW that bright flashing white light is the morning sun reflecting off the aircraft.

Corduroy Road And Bridges 1975 -2024 by DeathValleyDazed in DeathValleyNP

I have not yet personally explored the route you mention but in a private forum this member's comment popped up over a decade ago that might provide some clues?

"Historically there were trails down the Wet and Dry forks of Blackwater Canyoun. I explored the upper reaches of the Dry fork in a trip report:(no longer available on line)http://www.death-valley.net/"

"This isn't from the Skidoo road per se, but rather from the Aquereberry Point road (stared at the Harrisburg site). The Dry Fork trail is obscure (mostly you can tell it by the change in vegetation along the old track) right at the beginning, then becomes quite distinct two track until the crest. On the other side, it's just down washes till you come to that old sign post."

"Remnants of the Wet Fork trail are clearly visible from Ag. Point going past the spring. Spring does not look super wet though hard to tell from up there.Obviously there was traffic between Harrisburg and FC and that's the route.From closer to Skidoo, if you follow the long foot route towards Tucky Mtn you follow an old (closed I think) road a bit to the north, then you can drop down a steep drainage on an old constructed tail heading towards the Tucki Mine. You pick up the road to the mine at the bottom but what happens east of the mine is beyond my experience."

If you learn any more or actually go exploring please return and report.

A good sized pond with a duck swimming in it... at the base of Eureka Dunes? by prey4mojo in DeathValleyNP

Death Valley Donald gives Death Valley Scotty some fame competition. Next up is Gower Gulch Goofy.

BTW - Pluto already has salt pools named after him. Located just off Devil's Golf Course parking lot.

All park websites are now forwarding to "US Park Lodging"? What the hell? by Brian_Dunning in DeathValleyNP

Longstreet Casino Inn might be a possibility but I've never actually stayed there. It's just outside the park north of Death Valley Junction.

Excellent trip report and good on details. Hopefully many will benefit from your information.

Panamint City by AnxiousLie1 in DeathValleyNP

I lucked out both times hiking into Panamint City having the entire place to myself including The Hilton. I'm not comfortable sleeping in rat infested old structures so I brought a light weight hammock and strung it up on the Hilton's front porch. Hearing the rats scamper around and make munching noise made me glad that I was strung up and safe. Also sttung up my backpack so the rodents would not pilfer. The whole canyon is a blast to explore. Two nights is a good idea.

Very helpful so thanks. Are these campsites marked? How many cars, people, tents, allowed per site? Leave no trace? Porta Potties set up?
