Panamint Valley-Death Valley National Park 3/21-24/2012
Reilly
	Remains of the old Anthony Mill
Reilly rock structures
I found the old Reilly Town site for the first time. Reilly is in the southern section of the Argus Range on the Panamint Valley side. A little north of Water Canyon, the lead mine and diatomaceous earth mined deposit. It is off the start of the Old Nadeau Road from the west end of the new one.
Panamint Crater
	I cheated and used GPS to finally find Panamint Crater. I'd seen it from across they valley before and had wandered around the area unsuccessfully trying to locate it. No one knows how it got there, it doesn't seem to be meteoric or volcanic. There is a mine shaft at the bottom, maybe they were looking for a meteor.
Aguereberry Point
A good view from Aquereberry point area looking down at  Badwater in Death Valley. The lowest point in North America at 282 below sea level
Skidoo
There is virtually nothing left of downtown Skidoo	The mill ruins are about the only major thing left in the Skidoo area.
Red Pass - Titus Canyon
You have to head up over Daylight Pass towards Beatty to do Titus Canyon. It is a one way road back down over Red Pass through Leadville site back down to Death Valley. I tried to do it a couple times before but it was snowed in in the upper reaches.
Up around Red Pass above Titus Canyon
Mouth of Titus Canyon (One way down only)
Eureka Sand Dunes
After 10 miles of washboard to the dunes I decided I didn't want to be sandblasted and went over to the Sierra to get out of the wind. The Eureka Dunes are the highest in California at 800' or so. Every valley in the area has sand dunes.
