Route 178 Near Trona

C. F. Lindgren Photographs

We left the town of Trona on Route 178, and came to an overlook that showed us Death Valley from a distance. We mistook the blinding sandstorm in the middle of the image for "fog." We soon learned very different! (See Below!!) When I got out of he car to take this photograph, I also collected the borax sample from the side of the road.
