The half buried green piece caught my eye.
This pressure bottle was in a small runoff channel below the site.
Further out I found this oxygen tank, must have been washed out by the rains.
Another view of the tank.
It was marked "BREATING OXYGEN".

Almost a year later I'm back in Death Valley to search for the second bomber, the B-24J #42-78522. The accident report states it broke in two main pieces.
As I started off, I looked back to the truck and saw a big raven flying straight at me.
He landed close by then flew around keeping an eye on me for a few minutes before flying off.
