| Landmark #826 | Inyo County | Visited: January 2, 2012 | Plaque? YES! 🙂 |
| What is it? | A plaque and stovepipe marking an important water source from the Death Valley mining days! |
| What makes it historical? | THE GUIDE SAYS: This waterhole, the only one in the sand dune area of Death Valley, was at the junction of the two Indian trails. During the bonanza days of Rhyolite and Skidoo, it was the only known water source on the cross-valley road. When sand obscured the spot, a length of stovepipe was inserted as a marker.
OTHER TIDBITS: That pretty well sums it up! |
