Death Valley

For years, the NPS has been gradually removing burros from Death Valley. They are a non-native species, descendants of those brought in by 19th century prospectors. Several round-ups have been held, which are pretty interesting. Federal land agencies supply helicopters that are used to drive the critters into smaller areas where horseback wranglers herd them into pens. For years, the burros were auctioned by the Bureau of Land Management to become pets or working animals; the sales contracts forbade using or selling them for animal or human consumption. I was part of one of these rounds ups. Below are a series of pictures from this event. All were taken with K64 slide film. They have been scanned in without an color correction.

Soon as time permits will scan in more Death Valley slides,
