Here is an early 1950s photo along Route 66 at the Summit of Cajon Pass, California. The Buick pulling a trailer has a desert water bag hanging from their front bumper which was the right thing to do back then when driving in the desert when the radiator would overheat. It looks like their trailer is called "The Magic Carpet."

Harrisburg, now in Death Valley National Park, never amounted to much more than a tent camp. Pete Aguerreberry lived at the site for four decades however, working his Eureka mine until his death in the 1940s.
D-Day of course. Lots of supplies and ships to bring in those supplies.
