Beautiful country! Good job. If you are ever in the Steele Pass, Marble Bath area perhaps with a 4x4 expedition see if you can get a photo in perfect light of the Marble Bath formation. It is a legend but in reality it is a simple surveyors benchmark. Back in the day understanding, they were traveling on horseback, a surveyor jotted down "Marble Bath" at the steele pass location on a map. Very few people since then have found what he was referring to. I happened by accident to capture it in the right light only because I camped at the top of the pass. It is is a large white boulder that stands out in the cliff face when looking down on Saline valley. In the right light and frame of mind it looks like an old fashioned bathtub with a foot at the base. Hee .. hee .. I guess after traveling that country surveying for weeks on horseback the frame of mind is obvious. I had a photo of it on Panoramio but now they are gone. Finding it is easy. At the level top of Steele look down into the ravine towards saline valley until you find the modern bathtub full of blue marbles (tiny Joshua tree next to it) then walk back to the right until you see a huge white boulder embedded half way up on the cliff. Then wait for the right light in the morning. Last time I was there It was late and the light was gone but what alarmed me was despite it having lasted nearly a hundred years there was quite a bit of erosion. No benchmark last forever and this one will eventually fall in the ravine.
