Dusty Dirt Road Into The Spring Mountains
Sometimes I fly over places and find roads like this that go on, seemingly forever, into the mountains or over the horizon. It always makes me wonder, who uses this road? What do they do out here?
This is a small pass that comes down from Mount Potosi in the Spring Mountain Range of Southeastern Nevada. More than likely this dirt road leads to one of the numerous precious metal mines that dot the mountains in this area.
Mines with interesting names like: Green Monster Mine, Red Cloud Mine, Oro Amigo Mine, Yellow Pine Mine, Whale Mine, Iron Gold Mine, Bill Nye Mine, Smithsonite Mine, Hoosier Mine, Mobile Mine, Snowstorm Mine, Bluejay Mine, Cosmopolitan Mine, Chiquita Mine, Hoodoo Mine and the good ol' Accident Mine. There are many many more.
I lensed this while flying around the Mojave Desert east of the mountains heading towards Death Valley to shoot the spring flower bloom.
This image is from my ongoing project in which I am trying to raise awareness of the 47% of the USA and 90% of Canada that remain unpopulated wilderness.
Where Eagles Fly - The American Wilderness Expedition is my personal mission to introduce people to these amazing locations that surround us.
If you are interested in helping with this project I would love to have your assistance! Please consider upvoting or donating and please resteemit so that others may experience these wondrous places as well.
Yehaw!!

Nice post thanks for sharing
Dope pic as always sky! Did you actually take this pic from a plane?
Nature is perfect in all its manifestations, but sometimes it is incredible to see the human adaptation to ecosystems so wild and dangerous, allowing the birth of cultures and societies that fuse with their ecosystems, indeed that the fullness of nature could not be achieved Shape in a single photo but seriously this image contributes in a great way to that universal perfection.
La naturaleza es perfecta en todas sus manifestaciones, pero en ocasiones es increíble ver la adaptación humana a ecosistemas tan agrestes y peligrosos, permitiendo el nacimiento de culturas y sociedades que se fusionan con sus ecosistemas, de verdad que la plenitud de la naturaleza no se lograra plasmar en una sola foto pero en serio esta imagen contribuye en gran manera a esa perfección universal.
