Starting in Trona CA, we will start our journey around 10am making our way into Panamint Valley and in to the old ghost town of Ballarat. Ballarat holds some interesting history of a dark time in California. One of the vehicles on display here is Charles Mansons old Dodge Power Wagon. From Ballarat the trek into Death Valley National Park begins. Our next stop will be the charcoal kilns above Wildrose where we will have lunch at. Once leaving the charcoal kilns we will make our way towards Stove Pipe Wells and find camp along the way where dinner will be served shortly after arriving at camp and the campfire stories begin.

Starting just outside of Stove Pipe Wells, we’ll work deep in to Death Valley and stop along the way at the many wonders of the land stopping in Furnace creek for our only fuel stop on the entire trip and continuing to Bad water basin where we will have lunch. Bad water basin is the lowest point in the Northern hemisphere that your can walk at 282 feet below sea level it’s a fascinating site. From Badwater well finding camp near Westside Road. As we arrive, dinner will be on its way to being served and we will enjoy a wonderful night around the campfire eating dinner and telling stories of the fun adventures we all have been on.

Today we are making the drive up from Westside Road to the famous Racetrack.

We’ll have plenty of time to walk into the Racetrack and examine the cool trails left behind by the racing rocks. We’ll be camping at the campground on the south side of the Racetrack where dinner will be served and engage in more campfire talk.
