This is a stump from the Ancient Bristlecone Forest. In the early 1900’s there was a mining operation in the White Mountains north of Death Valley. The miners cut down the local trees for timbers for their buildings and mine supports, not caring that they were cutting down trees that were thousands of years old. Fortunately, the mining operation failed in a short time. Besides the stumps, several of the buildings remain:

Hello Allan, if I go directly to your post I cannot find the Like button or the commentary field. That´s very pity. I love to view pictures on the blog with its own atmosphere and so it would be great if I could like your posts there. 🙂
Thanks, I will look at fixing that. I appreciate your comment, though. I’m not used to viewing my site as a user… but I should do that.
You’re welcome. I’m happy to help you. I like your photos and your descriptions of them very much!
