Old fence post. Barker Ranch, Death Valley, California, April 2021. Barker Ranch is noteworthy for where Charles Manson was apprehended after the murders. #photography #photo #Aerial #Aerialphotography #landscape #landscapephotography #nikon #nikonphotgraphy#Manson #charlesmanson #DeathValley #BarkerRanch #desert #nature #Abandoned #NaturePhotography #OptOutside #outdoors #exploring #explore

@cvvhrn How was the drive back there? I've been thinking about doing a few of those rougher roads (in my 4wd 4Runner) one of these days.

@ai6yr I spent about 7 total hours from the time I left the Goler Wash entrance and returned. I did not spend a ton of time as I wanted to hit Manzanar (I was staying in Lone Pine) and did not want to spend the night or try to navigate the wash at night. The Keystone mine is also on the way and it was a fun stop. I did try to see if I could get tot he mine proper but had some issues passing the lower wash plant so I passed given that I was solo

@cvvhrn Whew! That's a trek... I will have to try that sometime. Curious what the camping possibilities are, but that might be a bit eerie out there with no one around LOL

@ai6yr Yeah the whole Manson thing is a bit eerie. Supposedly the FBI used Ground penetrating radar and found nothing buried. There are a few cabins on the entire pathway and plenty of space at Barker to camp. The Raptor in the picture had his whole family there camping and that Raptor was set up nice. Gave me a bit of attitude when I was airing down at Ballarat about my MDX but seemed surprised I made it as far as I did LOL
