Throughout the country, state parks, historic sites, homes, buildings, museums, and similar institutions are struggling to continue operating. Because of general financial problems, many of these institutions are operating on a reduced schedule or in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Many will not weather these hard times without your help. Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please donate your treasure, time, and talent. Write to your governor and other elected officials telling them to find a way to keep state parks open. It will be your loss. Public Service Announcement | Test space for future ad if donations don't increase. |

Panamint Valley, 2005

Part of Panamint Valley lies within the western part of Death Valley National Park. Most western approaches to Death Valley run through Panamint Valley, in southeastern Inyo County. |
This roadside marker tells of Panamint City which once prospered 12 miles to the northeast in Surprise Canyon. Silver ore was discovered in 1872 bringing up to 2000 people at the peak to this mining camp. The town was flourishing until a 20 day celebration ended with heavy rains washing away most of the town. Silver bullion was shipped out in 400-pound cubes making it harder for thieves to intercept it. CONTENT
 Panamint Dunes are far off the highway and requires a high clearance 4X4 vehicle. |
