Off-Road Ranger I
I am planning an overland journey through Death Valley to several locations within the park. This will be a mainly dry camp event, with the necessity for self sustaining for up to 5 days with limited access to gas/food/water. Grown ups, kids and grown ups acting like kids are welcome. We will be venturing to several locations with potential stops in: Alabama Hills, Reward Mine, Cerro Gordo Ghosttown, Father Crowley Point Overlook, Stovepipe Wells, Mesquite Flats Sand Dunes, Furnace Creek, 20 Mules Road, Dante's View, Harmony Borax Works, Badwater, Ubehebe Crater,Teakettle Junction, Racetrack Playa, and/or Lippencott mine. Route will be finalized as dates draw closer and winter road conditions, overland party size and routes are finalized. I would like to have a trip where we will spend time in our vehicles overlanding to locations and time on foot to see some of the beautiful sights of Death Valley.
Going: 13 (will accept 16 and we will travel in two groups, and camp in two groups).
