Journal Entry: Day One - October 27, Friday Before me lies the most unusual of sights in a land that most believe is dry and barren. Saratoga Spring is the large body of water that I now see, part of the Amargosa River system that emerges from its usual subterranean domain. There are old mining buildings around the area, from an era of talc extraction, with much hiking opportunity to visit the history. To the north I see the Panamint Range on the left, and the Amargosa Range on the right. Not many folks visit this far south in the Park. I just turned off the remote, but easy, Harry Wade road a few miles south. There is a large parking area here because you can't drive to the spring itself ... the walk feels good after miles of highway driving from Baker to get here. Today I see no wildlife here, but I would imagine that this immense water supply must surely be frequented by critters often. Now, I will head on back to Harry's road to continue north towards the old Ashford Mill site.   General DV Information: Death Valley National Park The Timbisha Shoshone Tribe Death Valley Natural History Association Death Valley Virtual QuickTime Tours Beatty Nevada Chamber of Commerce Beatty Museum, Nevada Death Valley Hiker Association Death Valley National Park Geology Death Valley 49ers Maturango Museum, Ridgecrest Rhyolite Nevada Geology of Death Valley Death Valley National Park (private) Death Valley Chamber of Commerce American West - Death Valley Death Valley on Wikipedia Historical Society Upper Mojave Desert PBS Death Valley Video Death Valley from Space Weather Cam for Death Valley Searles Valley Historical Society Death Valley Mining Camp Books Amargosa Opera House and Hotel Death Valley Camping Manzanar National Historic Site Eastern California Museum Michel Digonnet's Hiking Death Valley Roger Mitchell's Death Valley SUV Trails Death Valley DVD Laws Railroad Museum Death Valley National Park Statistics East Side Books, Bishop Nevada Ghost Towns & Mining Camps Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad Women's Death Valley Bicycle Tour Devil's Hole & the Pupfish   Talk Forums: Panamint Charlie's Valley Death Valley Net Death Valley Talk 4 Wheel Drive Trips Death Valley Ghost Towns   Adventures and Expeditions: Helen Thayer's Extreme Outback Adventures Helen Thayer's Adventure Classroom David Wright's Great Basin 4wd Trips The Desert Girls' Wild Treks Badwater Ben's Adventures Desert Explorers Desert 4 Wheel Drive Ubehebe Exploration Group Alan Patera's Western Places Badwater Ultra Marathon Ripley's Ghost Towns Ghost Town Explorers Chris Marzonie's Baja Taco Expeditions Overland Journal Backroad Adventures Expeditions West The Hanson Family Adventurers Expedition Portal Jackie & Alan's Outdoor Adventures   Unclassified: Amargosa Conservancy Phil Kember's Death Valley Photographic Workshops Death Valley Days TV Show Death Valley Potato Chips Panamint Charlie and the Panamint Mountains Cerro Gordo Mine Wilderness Press, Berkeley Death Valley 49er Gateway Red Shoes Girl Tom Harrison's Quality Maps Inyo County Free Library Mono County Free Library Ken Rockwell Death Valley Photos Q.T.
