Scallywag Mine
The mine is really called the Jubilee Lead Mine but everyone calls it the Scallywag Mine because of a road sign mounted on the ore bin with that name at the mine. One wonders where that sign came from.
Lee Hilton Cabin
Also known as Macey’s Cabin and the Nelson Cabin, it was built for the Cerrussite Mine, which it sits next to. It is a cozy little spot we’ve been visiting since 1999.
Alice Hunt Pictograph Shelter
A few years ago, a few friends and I went out to search for some rock art sites in a canyon in Death Valley. It was still pretty early in the season, so it wasn’t hot yet.
We were hunting for some petroglyph and pictograph sites in the canyon.
Camel Track Canyon
My friends, Larry and Janene from Moby Goes, took us on a little trip over to what I’m calling “Camel Track” Canyon out in Death Valley country. The actual small canyon is unnamed on the map.
Death Valley Incinerator
Dan and I visited a little-known incinerator inside Death Valley National Park. It is an interesting little site. There are bits of historic trash here and there, but not too much else. Amazingly, this isn’t the only one in the park.
I've been asked not to disclose
White Rambler Mine
In early 2009, we went off searching for a few seldom-visited mines on a cold and overcast winter day. It was nice hiking in this remote, isolated corner of Death Valley National Park. The mines are small and more modern. I couldn’t find any information on them.
Sheep Creek Springs Cabin
The historic Sheep Creek Springs Cabin (Sheep Creek Cabin) was removed by the Barstow Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in late October 2011. The BLM paid contractors $3,495 to remove the cabin.
A mining camp sprang up here in 1906. Miners prospected for gold and silver in the hills
