    Apparently about a week ago, some gal lost control of her Jeep in a precarious section of trail known as "Chicken Rock" which is South Park Canyon, Panamint Mountains, Death Valley NP.

    Anyhow here is the scoop and the pics.

    I remember going thru there one time and my passenger wanted to walk the bridge. I didn't stop. I don't remember his response.
