GALLERY NOTES These Death Valley images represent two trips made during Oct and Dec of 1929. The Oct trip was to Leadfield. The Dec trip appears to have gone to both Chloride and Leadfield, but the exact route has not been established. |

 TITUS CANYON ROAD #1 This appears to be Titus Canyon Road before reaching Leadfield since these are rather open hills. Titus Canyon Road is an alternative to taking Chloride Cliffs Road to Death Valley. PURCHASE INFO HERE    LEADFIELD #2 These buildings don't seem to be in too bad of shape since at this time they were only about 4 years old. The place doesn't look too lively, though. PURCHASE INFO HERE  TITUS CANYON ROAD #3 Walker at a watering hole along the way. This looks rather steep so maybe it is down below Leadfield. PURCHASE INFO HERE  TITUS CANYON ROAD #4 Clearly this is down in the steep part of Titus Road (now Leadville Rd. below Leadville according to Google Earth.) PURCHASE INFO HERE  ALMOST TO DEATH VALLEY Given the openess here, this must be down on the aluvial fan below the steep canyon but before Death Valley. PURCHASE INFO HERE  CHLORIDE CLIFF ROAD #1 This photo starts the Dec trip. The view looks to be of Death Valley presumably from somewhere on Chloride Cliff Road. PURCHASE INFO HERE  STONE SHACK This photo has been identified as the Chloride Cliff Road route to Death Valley. PURCHASE INFO HERE  ABANDONED SHACKS The old time miners were pretty hardcore to live in this environment. PURCHASE INFO HERE  CHOW TIME Pretty efficient looking campmobile. Can't tell if this is in Death Valley or in the lower mountains before getting into the valley. PURCHASE INFO HERE  TAXES ARE PAID! The sign says, "Tax is paid on this property so leave it alone." Small wonder the tax man even knew this place existed! PURCHASE INFO HERE  MOUNTAIN TOP MARKER #1 Presumably somewhere on the Chloride Cliff Road route to Death Valley. PURCHASE INFO HERE   CHLORIDE CLIFF ROAD #2 The terrain suggests Chloride Cliff Road. If you know-please email. PURCHASE INFO HERE     HEADING INTO THE CANYON #1 Titus Canyon Road runs though a steep, narrow canyon in it's lower portion. This looks like the beginning of it. PURCHASE INFO HERE   HEADING INTO THE CANYON #3 Titus Canyon Road...looks more like Titus Canyon Trail! PURCHASE INFO HERE       IT'S BEHIND THEM NOW Out in the open! Since the Death Valley and the steep canyon section are separated by an aluvial fan, presumably they now are entering the fan. PURCHASE INFO HERE    CONTEMPLATING DEATH VALLEY After all that work to get here, he seems a bit dejected. PURCHASE INFO HERE  BONE PILE "JAMES DAYTON DIED 1898 R.I.P."...bones above ground, bones below. Surely this bone pile above ground wasn't James Dayton! PURCHASE INFO HERE  DESERT GRAFFITI Graffiti says, "Panament Pete - Funeral Hank." Must have been some local joke! PURCHASE INFO HERE   DEATH VALLEY SAND DUNES #2 What a view off into the distance. Nice scale with the lone figure. PURCHASE INFO HERE    PACIFIC COAST BORAX COMPANY #1 The Amargosa Hotel - originally built in 1923 as the headquarters, a hotel, a community center, a dining hall and employee housing for the PCBC; located at Death Valley Junction, CA.
