Old Desert Pictures

[Britain]

I like to chase down old pictures from the turn of the century and find those places. One picture took me nearly 2 years to locate the postion.

Heres Ralph Stineman and Friends airing down to run Devils Canyon. Ralph is running a Ford Bush Runabout. Notice his beadlocks on the rear?

Vern,
You do such a great job at this. Maybe you should become a history professor. Seems you have a knack for such things. Always looking forward to your posts about this area.
Thanks,

Kurt

Where is the 2nd series located? This is pretty fascinating to see especially w/ the age of the orginals.

That is really neat stuff your doing. Notice how the bottom of the wash is all sand in the old pic and the bottom is probably 12-18" higher than it is now.
