Unexploded Bomb Found In Park

On November 1st, the Saline Valley campground host advised the park that campers had found an unexploded bomb while hiking about three miles south of the Springs area. The bomb appeared to be unexploded military ordnance, with some type of aircraft wing pod lying nearby. Ranger/pilot Ed Forner found the items and is working with park resource management staff and the Department of Defense to recover them. This incident occurred while park superintendent JT Reynolds was hosting a desert managers group meeting and discussing ordnance and plane debris recovery with military commanding officers.
