@NorCalCherylLyn There is so much.

@BFBucky1 you could go from the ocean to the highest spot in the lower States then to the lowest spot in the country in 2-3 days if you were ambitious.

I wonder if the southernmost glacier is still there…likely not. 🤔

@NorCalCherylLyn The glaciers are melting but I have been to Death Valley. I spent alot of time over in the Panamint Valley. I stayed in Ridgecrest most of the time. That was when I learned that cars had governors that limited the speed to 110 mph.

@BFBucky1 Death Valley is such a crazy place! My Grandfather mined in the Panamint Mtns for years. Good terrain for testing your car’s limits!

@NorCalCherylLyn I worked on a project at a gold mine near Ballarat. It was or is a big operation. It was a long drive from ridge crest but it was mostly long straight road with no telephone poles.

@BFBucky1 granddad was a powder money all over ID, NV and CA.

My Aunt’s birthplace is a ghost town now. Gma considered the new house fancy if it didn’t have dirt floors. Mining is a hard way to make a living!

This is Gdad a somewhere in the Death Valley area.

@NorCalCherylLyn Great picture of your Gdad. While out that way I did go over to Death Valley to Scotty's Castle. There is just so much to see out that way.

@NorCalCherylLyn I was going back thru post. I am curious did you Gdad find gold?

@BFBucky1 when he was working in big mines for someone. Not so much when on his own.

Family settled in Lone Pine and he mined things like gypsum, cinnabar and talc until arthritis ended his ability to in the 60s.

@NorCalCherylLyn I see the park fire is going to get worse before it gets better. I hope all is well.

@BFBucky1 yeah, it’s not great news for those folks! Sky up that way is really smokey but all is ok here.
