great pics jim.Ok, here we go.
The charcoal kilns at Surprise Canyon, built in 1877 to supply charcoal to nearby mining camps. You can still smell the burnt cedar pitch inside of them.
Back on Wildrose highway, through Rattlesnake canyon and into the main part of the park.
We detoured up through Beatty Nevada to fuel up and check out Rhyolite ghost town (no pics), and then headed down to the road into Titus canyon. Stopped at the ruins of a town called Leadfield (interesting history of this mining camp that was built on false advertising and died quickly thereafter).
The old post office in Leadfield:
And an old wharehouse:
And then into the belly of the beast, Titus canyon. Believe me pictures cannot even come close to doing justice too the scale of all of this, you will feel small, very small.
