Have you ever gotten lost? I mean really lost where you were worried that you'd ever get back to something familiar? That you'd run out of gas and perish in the wilderness? In 2022, that happened in Death Valley National Park. A 67 year old man ran out of gas and started hiking to what he thought was a way out. He perished 2 1/2 miles from the car. He left a note in the car stating: "Ran out of gas."We mourn for the tragic results, but in a way, we should take heed: we all head towards a "death valley" and the most important thing we do is to "call ahead", in a sense, for rescue. For there is only one "Life Flight" available in the valley of death- Jesus: the Way, Truth, and Life.Listen in on this conversation between Nate and Sean on this week's Church for Normies podcast. ▶️ Nate's Message on YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@roswellgrace8562/videos⁠

Among the many organizations affected by the federal budget cuts, our national parks and monuments are also facing job losses and belt-tightening measures.

Before Death Valley became a desert tourism mecca, it was a mining hot spot. The homelands of the Timbisha Shoshone tribe were opened to industry during the California Gold Rush. In this “Where Are They Now?” episode, producer Willa Seidenberg talks with alumna Mary Ringhoff about her thesis on the early-twentieth-century mining town of Ryan, an unusually well-preserved site just outside the boundaries of Death Valley National Park. The company town housed workers at the Pacific Coast Borax Company, which produced the famous “20 Mule Team” cleaning agent used in millions of households.Mary, an archaeologist by training, describes the lives of miners in a harsh desert environment, the town's conversion into a hotel for tourists, and how it became a ghost town. She also shares the surprising project she's been investigating in her work as an architectural historian.  See episode page for photos, links, and transcript.Connect with us on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn!

Concessions are the backbone of the National Park System. True, the National Park Service manages the parks and the wildlife and the visitors, but the concessionaires provide you with a bed, or campsite, to sleep in, restaurants to dine in, and gift shops to browse in. Xanterra Parks and Resorts is one of the key players in the national park concessions industry. They operate lodges in Yellowstone, Crater Lake, Death Valley, Glacier, Grand Canyon and, until the end of this year, Zion National Park. A newcomer on the park concessions scene is POWDR Corp., a self-branded adventure company most tied to snow sports. This past January, however, POWDR took over the concessions at Stovepipe Wells Village in Death Valley National Park, and this coming January it'll be operating concessions at Zion National Park.  To learn more about POWDR and why it's seeking opportunities in the National Park System, we've invited Justin Sibley, the company's CEO, to discuss the transition. We'll be back in a minute with Justin.

America's National Parks are as inspiring as they are humbling. Their vast landscapes provide a place for adventure and exploration, but solitude can turn deadly if you're not prepared. At 3.4 million acres, Death Valley is the most sprawling and desolate park in the Lower 48. Reaching temperatures of 134 degrees, much of its landscape is inhabitable and unforgiving. In 1996, four German tourists entered the park completely unprepared for the kind of topography and environment they'd encounter. When they missed their return flight home, the four were reported missing, seemingly without a trace. Three months later, their rented minivan would be found two miles down Anvil Canyon, with no clue as to where the four had gone. Thirteen years later, dedicated search and rescue volunteer Tom Mahood refused to give up on this decade-long cold case and set out on his own to uncover the truth of what happened to the “Death Valley Germans.” Was it aliens? A government coverup? Or does Mother Nature simply take no prisoners? You'll have to tune in to find out. Happy Haunting!

Chris joins a team of scuba divers...in the desert!  Death Valley National Park is the hottest place on Earth and the driest place in North America. The heat that builds beneath Death Valley's cloudless skies radiates off barren rocks and sinks into the valley bottoms, where it warms, baking everything it touches and evaporates any water foolish enough to linger at the surface. But beneath miles of dry desert land - in the largest national park in the lower 48 - is something you can't see from the crusty surface. A secret watery world, hidden underground. And a cave system that is home to the world's rarest fish. The Devil's Hole pupfish is less than an inch long, but has caused quite a stir. In this episode of THE WILD, Chris travels to Death Valley National Park to learn about how this tiny fish has made history and has changed our understanding of desert water in some remarkable ways.

An area near the entrance to Death Valley National Park has the capacity to produce enough energy to power the entire planet if covered in solar panels. Yet for Nye County, Nevada residents, the question of what must be sacrificed – including the environmental and economic future of the area – and by whom, looms large. Hillary Angelo is the author of the Harper's Magazine article, “Boomtown,” which explores the complexity of the solar land rush in the West. Angelo is an urban and environmental sociologist and Associate Professor of Sociology at UC Santa Cruz. Dustin Mulvaney, who was featured in the article, is a solar expert and Professor at San José State University. Alec speaks with Angelo and Mulvaney about the objections of residents, what spaces might be used instead, and how to rethink the future of energy.   You can find the article, “Boomtown,” here: https://harpers.org/archive/2023/01/boomtown-beatty-nevada-solar-farms-death-valley/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
