Mining Equipment
This old mill used for crushing gold ore is located in Warm Spring Canyon in Death Valley National Park near Warm Spring Mining Camp. The camp was built in the early 1900's and was the center of gold and talc mining in the area. The old buildings from the camp still remain and the spring for which the area is named is in the hills behind the camp.
Warm Spring
Warm Spring is an important and historical spring in Death Valley National Park. It was originally the site of a winter camp of the Shoshone Indians. In the 1880's a ranch was established there which was later destroyed by flash floods. In the early 1900's a gold and talc mining camp was located there, of which the buildings still remain. The site is now the property of the National Park Service.

Polychrome Pass, Denali
This is Polychrome Pass in Denali National Park, Alaska. We were there in 2015 to celebrate our fortieth wedding anniversary. We had camped at Sanctuary River and after setting up camp caught the park bus to Toklat, at the end of Polychrome Pass where the bus stopped and allowed us time to wander for a while.

Denali National Park
Taken along the Park Road in Denali National Park, Alaska. When we were there in 2015 there were fires in the park and it was very hazy and samoky.
Cactus
From the archives: after spending the night near the Racetrack in Death Valley National Park, we drove north, stopping along the road to photograph the cacti on a rocky hillside, this photo and the inset both taken there.

From the archives: taken from a rocky hillside along the Racetrack Road in Death Valley National Park, where we stopped and hiked around to photograph the cacti, one visible in the foreground. Our vehicle is parked along the road in the distance.
Death Valley Sunset
We were on our way to the north part of Death Valley National Park and stopped along the road for our evening meal and the sunset when this photo was taken. Not the most spectacular sunset but worth posting or so I thought.
Death Valley Sunset
We photographed this sunset along the Scotty's Csstle Road in Death Valley National Park. We had stopped for a late meal before going on to find a place to camp for the evening.
Panamint Valley
This is another photo from our recent trip to Utah, Arizona and California. We spent several days exploring the backcountry in a rented jeep and this was taken on the evening of the last day as we watched the sunset and had our supper in the Panamint Valley.
