Park officials in Death Valley National Park are seeking the public's help in identifying the person they believed toppled a historic structure while towing their vehicle out of the mud.
In a news release yesterday, the NPS reports that the 113-year-old Saline Valley Salt Tram tower – one of four within the park – appears to have been felled sometime between April 1 and 27. Evidence at the scene reveals that a vehicle drove "a short distance of the legal roadway" before becoming stuck in muddy conditions caused by flooding last year, which created a temporary lake in the desert terrain, and closed sections of the park.
