Darwin Quarry
A scenario for James Knauer's Panamint Crossing Route
By Blue Light
"There are hills, rounded, blunt, burned, squeezed up out of chaos, chrome and vermilion painted, aspiring to the snowline.
Between the hills lie high level-looking plains full of intolerable sun glare, or narrow valleys drowned in a blue haze.
The hill surface is streaked with ash drift and black, unweathered lava flows. After rains water accumulates in the hollows of small closed valleys,
and, evaporating, leaves hard dry levels of pure desertness that get the local name of dry lakes. Where the mountains are steep and the rains heavy,
the pool is never quite dry, but dark and bitter, rimmed about with the efflorescence of alkaline deposits. A thin crust of it lies along the marsh over
the vegetating area, which has neither beauty nor freshness. In the broad wastes open to the wind the sand drifts in hummocks about the stubby shrubs,
and between them the soil shows saline traces. The sculpture of the hills here is more wind than water work, though the quick storms do sometimes
scar them past many a year's redeeming." From Land of Little Rain by Mary Hunter Austin (1903).
I wrote this short scenario to introduce you to the Panamint Crossing route located in the far northern and western edges of the Mojave Desert.
A land that Mary Austin call the "Country of Lost Borders." This is the land wherein the Panamint Valley Rairoad earns its keep by transporting
the mineral wealth of the Panamint Mountains. The challange will be controling and stopping the train on the steep grades. Bon appetit.
