If you come from the North/East you can also go through Beatty, theres a back road that leads to Titus Canyon entering by going west into the park. If you stay the night in Beety you can also tour some random stuff around there like Moon rocks (below) for an easy trip to get you fired up. Thats what we did...
Bumping. Anyone planning a trip the first weekend of 2021? Thinking of doing a first solo trip but would like to connect with someone.
I just visited a couple weeks ago. Winter is wonderful. Lows ranged from below thirty on east side to closer to 40 in the park. Very quiet. Bring something to do from 5-7 pm like a book or cards or something unless you want to wake up at 3Am

Just got back, ended up taking the 47 miles of gravel on the west road around bad water, blew a strut and tried to go explore but the shelf rock roads were no good for the Tercel.
Temps were excellent and no crowds, but it was Christmas.

but you don't have AT tires, light bars, jerry cans, maxtrax, sliders, two spares, lockers, snorkel, 4 GPS modules and 2 HAM radios?!
LOL! Nice! Put those "overlanders" to shame! Back to the basic!

just putting the adventure back into a road trip
I did a lot of DV in a Honda Accord. No need for jerry cans feeding a small 4 cylinder compared to a 100 series lol

Was plenty of camping going on, we did not but watched a couple rvs do their thing
Thank you
Looking for input
My itinerary is
Enter the DV Park on Saturday at 7 AM through Titus, then Ubehebe Crater, Teakettle Junction then camp at Racetrack Playa.
Now for Sunday Mesquite Flat Dunes, then head back to Los Angeles.
I really want to squeeze in Eureka this weekend. Is it a long route to Eureka from the racetrack? Google says 3.5 hours drive. Any suggestion for a shorter route? Sunday I need to leave the park latest at 2 PM.

After Mesquite Flat Dunes I'd recommending taking the 190 to panamint valley rd, check out Ballarat ghost town Ballarat (Ghost Town) - https://goo.gl/maps/nita8ZzafqkmojnB6 (optional) and then Trona Pinnacles Trona Pinnacles - https://goo.gl/maps/fCUhMrhcSoczVr458 (must see if you haven't).
OH nice! Ty! I will check it out. Its on the way home.
Also will you guys drive 25 miles of paved road on 15PSI? I'm kinda lazy and don't want to air up in between trails
I do, drove 80 miles home at 18psi from a semi-local trail last weekend in the FJ40 because of said lazyness.
Most of the roads in DV are well maintained graded dirt roads, done most of the park including playa race track in my model 3.
I see rhah's tercel did something similar.
Nice! Then I should be able to get to my destination relatively quick.

Not a big deal. Take it kind of slow is all.
