The body of Donald Vanneman III was discovered in this source pool Dec. 20, 2020.National Park Service
Even at 63, San Francisco resident Donald Vanneman III was all about the thrills, living one adventure to the next. Last month on a solo road trip to enchanting hot springs closed because of the pandemic and hidden deep in California’s most unforgiving desert valley he went too far.
Vanneman was not the first to perish at Saline Valley Warm Springs, an extremely remote collection of thermal pools and camping areas that were settled by hippies, survivalists and rock hounds in the 1960s then annexed by Death Valley National Park in 1994.
The Trump administration left President Biden a dilemma in the California desert: a plan to remove protections from millions of acres of public lands and open vast areas to solar and wind farms.
Biden’s team could easily block the proposed changes, which were slammed by conservationists as a last-gasp effort by the outgoing administration to support private industry at the expense of wildlife habitat and treasured landscapes.
But even if Trump’s 11th-hour proposal goes nowhere, it offers a preview of the battles that could play out on public lands in California and other Western states as Biden looks to fight climate change by ramping up renewable energy development.
