This episode of Bill Burrud’s “True Adventure” series dates to the early 1960s and takes a look at sights in and the history of Death Valley in California and Nevada. It begins with men looking through human remains to explain where the valley got its name. The rest of the film follows a jeep in its journey around the valley driving on unpaved roads. It begins with “The Devil’s Golf course”, followed by sand dunes, graves, and abandoned prospecting towns like Skidoo and Rhyolite in Nevada. The film also seeks to contrast the harsh climate, with surprising shots of water in the desert, either in the form of salt creeks or pumped from deep underground.
