Sharkey's End740 viewsUnfortunately, this is not how Bag End looked in the days of Bilbo and Frodo. This is how it looked after Sharkey took it over.

Hell's Gate736 viewsThis is where the Beatty Cutoff branches off the Daylight Pass Road to head toward Highway 190 and Furnace Creek. It also took us to the turnoff to Keane Wonder Mine. It really was the gate to Hell on this day, given the conditions on the Valley floor.
