We are solidifying plans for Death Valley, Brice and I have ordered our annual National Parks pass $85 in preparation for the trip. Others if unsure can always by the day passes at the last minute.
Trip will depart Friday morning the 12th, early and we will camp in the park three days and return Monday the 15th. This is an overlanding trip with lots of dirt track to cover each day but promises to be very scenic.
More to come, stay tuned.
Here is the trip plan.
Day 1: destination is Beatty, NV before dark for most of us. The Phoenix contingent plan is to meet in Wickenburg at the Mobil/Jack in the Box at 37770 Vulture Mine Road, this is on I93 out of Wickenburg headed to Kingman, meeting at 830 getting gas and departing by 9am. Cheapest gas was reported to be Circle K so we may alter gas site to take advantage of gas savings.
Next stop will be in Kingman, about noon, and meeting with @Pitch at the T/A gas stop on the I93, 946 W. Beale st. Noon to 12:45 or so once people get fuel and have lunch. There may be a cheaper gas station, we will validate price and parking to accommodate the vehicles and the trailers.
From Kingman it will be off onwards Vegas and the final destination of Beatty, fill up with gas and camp our first night just outside of DV park. This location will be posted up so anyone wanting to catch up can locate us.
Day 2: Depart camping site between 8 am and 830, this will be the last opportunity for gas, food, ice etc. Titus canyon to Ubehebe crater, Tea Kettle Junction then the Race Track to our second night of camping just south of the Race track or towards Hidden Valley depending on traffic and weather/wind. Many photo opportunities along the way and we will have the CSC teakettle ceremony, signing, pictures thanks to Brice and Tina.
Day 3: explore additional ghost towns and take in sites along the path, maybe camping closer to the West side of the park or higher up in elevation.
Day 4: out Panamint and exit back towards Vegas. There is gas in a few places out either way but we will put up a few more sights in the itinary later this week.
Rather than make hard and fast sight seeing rules we wanted to make day 3 (Sunday) a bit of an option so others could either split to see different sights or depart if they have to get home early.
Brice and I have committed to taking advantage of every restroom opportunity and making the trip comfortable for everyone.
We had a few last minute cancellations but I believe we are up to date as of 2/12/16. See you all soon
