I love to stop in these little out of the way places myself so quite understand why you were compelled to. And the Pinnacles look amazing! | mikelisaanna Mon Dec 8, 2008 04:53 UTC
Trona is definitely a unique place. We passed through it on the way back from Death Valley a few years ago. We loved the empty spaces of the Panamint Valley road from DV to Trona. Your page definitely brings back some memories. | Maria250 Thu Jun 26, 2008 20:39 UTC
