Shoshone CA-178 / school district (0077)

Shoshone CA-178 / school district (0077)
Shoshone, the green patch on the left with two water towers. The DV in the lava slope is for Death Valley High academy, the name of the public high school in Shoshone. Per Wikipedia, in 2012-13 the school had 16 students in grades 7-12 with one full-time teacher-principal. The DVUSD district serves an area the size of the state of Connecticut with students from Death Valley National Park traveling 120 miles to this school.

Below is a picture of the school, there was a time when it had more students than it currently does.

It's difficult for my Eastern mind to picture this kind of remoteness existing in the U.S. today.

The vast spaces that are relatively nearby are still a sense of wonder for me, though I have become accustomed enough to be irritated when there is any effort to diminish the sense of vastness. E.g., though I believe in solar energy, I'd not want to see a solar field in the middle of this view.
