I recently aquired a 96 FJZ80 and would like to make trip through Death Valley during Thanksgiving break. I'm relatively new to off-roading. Anyone interested in joining me and guiding me through the trip? Any help will be appreciated.
Death Valley trip Nov.22-24, anyone?

OK here's the plan. Please take a look at the backcountry road map provided by DV:

Day 1:
We enter the park from north of Trona, CA. Via Escape Trail (not marked on map), we go across Slate Range. After entering Goler Cayon, we go over Panamint Range via Mengel Pass. Continuing on Warm Springs Canyon Road. Reach Furnace Creek by night fall. Attractions: Barker Ranch, Gold Hill Mine, Badwater (lowest point of USA), Devil's Golf Course.
Day 2:
Visit Borax museum at Furnace Creek, Artists Drive, Stovepipes Wells Village. Night stay at Mesquite Spring/ Scottys Castle.
Day 3:
Departure from Mesquite Spring, visit Ubehebe Crater, and Race Track (the weird moving rocks). If we can make it through Lippincott Pass, it'll be super fun, since this trail is famous and challenging.
