Hmmm...the White range is pretty much snowed in during late fall, winter and spring months. There's a fair amount of what looks like spring run-off in some parts of Wyman Canyon that might make it tough to navigate. I'd think this route is a warmer weather route.
Anyway...up Silver Canyon Trail...a little jog that is marked over to Wyman Canyon Trail...down to not quite Oasis on Hwy 168 to an easy to spot shortcut gravel to Fish Lake Valley on and down Willow Creek gravel trail/road and finally a short jaunt East on Death Valley Road to the Eureka Valley Road.
The other route I want to check out after I get my new aux tank is upon exiting DV take the north leg from Crankshaft Junction...follow the eastern flank of the White Mountain Range until the Queen Canyon Trail which skirts the northern most edge of the White Mountain range. Plus there are numerous dead-end trails leading into springs, etc on that side of the White range too. I think I could easily kill a week playing in and around the White Mountain range! Say when!
How was that shotgun wedding?

On the way there
What a great trip. A big thank you to everybody involved. Great food and company.
If anyone happens to be driving from the Racetrack to the Ubehebe (?) Crater please look out for this part...:whoops:
is it really littering if you have no clue your doing it?

Ok...I took the least # of photos on this trip than ever. Don't know why...must have been the fact everyone else had cameras this time. Or maybe I was just lazy
We had the same problem, we took maybe five pictures the whole time...
Nice looking group of trucks
Did you go, Jack? I don't see your truck in any of those pics...
Yep, I was there. When we left Eureka Dunes, I was in the lead and since we were through an obstacle before anyone got there and we didn't take any pictures, well the 80 got left out. You missed a great trip Matt, hopefully you can make the next one.
Good thing he has a snorkle
You should have seen the entire crossing, I did have to use my windshield wipers afterword.
Sign me up for that one. By the sounds of it, that might call for the aux tank and some additional fuel as well.
I should have my aux tank installed in a month or so. I have to finish up some other stuff before I install the tank. I am going to modify my rear bumper slightly before I install the tank.

Really nice trip report and pics

Sorry for the late report - but we had a minor disaster at home - one of the posts of my porch had collapsed so I had to fix it before the porch came down 
.
We got back to Sunnyvale around 10:30pm on Sun after taking the 120 through Yosemite. The evening light did wonders on that road. We really had a great time on the whole trip - the drive up was definitely worth it. Thanks all for making this a trip to remember. It was a successful intro for my wife Lata to the wheeling world and she's keen to go on more such trips.
DV was absolutely amazing. my only time there earlier had been on the main road with a short trip to the badlands. Looks like we could spend atleast a week exploring all the backroad/trail treasures. Dan's espresso and Jeremy's bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers were divine.

Ro,
It was great to meet you and Lata...and having you along was a benefit for us too! The only downside to our trip: Like all of them it could have been longer! Great photos also...thanks for taking and posting them up for all to enjoy.
Dan
Rohitash, it was a pleasure meeting both you and Lata, glad you were able to join in on our little trip. Looking forward to another trip.
To everyone in the group, thanks again for another great adventure.
By the way, I found out why my range on my radio might not have been that great. I finally got a cap for the mount and when I went to take the antenna off, I found out it was very loose. Kind of surprised and happy I didn't lose it.

Where was that wash at, what trail?

Actually there were numerous wash out/over areas: The biggest one is on Saline Valley Road near Hunter Canyon (Salt Lake) where large boulders from atop were carried down/dislodged by the rain down onto the road (they have signs up at each end "Road Closed"); apparently 2-3 weeks ago a big dump of rain caused flash flooding on much of the Saline Valley Road; especially the South 3/4 of this road. I was amazed how much erosion and wash out/over the road has taken place. But no trouble for the Land Cruisers
!Additionally while we were camped at the Hot Springs we watched a large storm scurry to the East of us. Only the next day while travelling between Racetrack and Ubehebe did we see where that storm dumped, again, a fair amount of rain that resulted in wash outs on that stretch of trail.

It's probably a good thing you guys went out that way. The route from Teakettle Junction to Hunter Mountain looked like it would be bottomless mud if it got wet.Actually there were numerous wash out/over areas: The biggest one is on Saline Valley Road near Hunter Canyon (Salt Lake) where large boulders from atop were carried down/dislodged by the rain down onto the road (they have signs up at each end "Road Closed"); apparently 2-3 weeks ago a big dump of rain caused flash flooding on much of the Saline Valley Road; especially the South 3/4 of this road.

I was looking at that last night. To much work for this trailer. Like they say you can put lipstick on a pig........
