[edit] Recent Lake?

there is also danger in these parks. Danger that people can control. Was there really a past lake at Badwater called "Recent Lake"? I've searched for a reference, but all I've found are mirrors back to this wikipedia article -- or phrases along the lines of "the most recent lake in Death Valley...". USGS's GNIS has no entry for a "Recent Lake". Also casting doubt: isn't the convention for naming no-longer-extant lakes to begin them with the word Lake (as in Lake Manly)? -- ScottMainwaring, 20:06, 1 December 2005

In the absence of any verifiable source for this, I removed the reference to "Recent Lake". --ScottMainwaring 17:41, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Designation?

Didn't Death Valley use to be a national monument? - Montréalais

isn't it still...hold on I'll ck, nope, not as far I can tell--dgd

Yes it was at one time a national monument but was promoted to nationalparkhood 1994. --mav

[edit] Death Valley '49ers left via Wingate Pass?

According to [1], they used Emigrant Canyon (which would explain the name), and [2] says that some of them used Towne Pass (named after the Towne party?). Is there a source for Wingate Pass? --NE2 02:02, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
