Old red fire truck, Stovepipe Wells
Fascinating old 1940's fire truck that encountered brutally high and dry temperatures and survived all those years in the middle of Death Valley.
Stovepipe Wells is a small way-station in the northern part of Death Valley, in unincorporated community Inyo County, California.
The first temporary settlement at Stovepipe Wells came into being when a road between Rhyolite and Skidoo was begun in 1906 to ameliorate the approach to the mine at Skidoo. A collection of tents was erected to serve travelers with food, drink and lodging. The settlement is now registered as California Historical Landmark #826.
