Salt Creek is the home to a rare fish in Death Valley called Pup Fish. They're about 3" long and live in this salty little stream. They were once freshwater fish and many other fish lived in the stream. As the creek turned saltier, everything died out, but the Pup Fish managed to stay alive long enough to adapt. I just like the composition as a whole for this picture

This is part of a 20 mule wagon train. Death Valley was mined heavily for its salt and borax deposits. The ore would fill these wagons up to 20tons. The tanker on the back was filled with water as the loads were hauled about 150mis to a railroad station where the ore was loaded up.
Salt deposits at Devil's Golf Course. Hard as rock and sharp as razors
Wonder what par they were on?
My brother and I have never been to Calico Ghost Town, so we went. Also had to make up for losing a day due to poping a tire after Ubehebe Crater on day one >_<
