Camping in Death Valley in December?

[Coastal616]

I know that is freaking cool.

Is that a real trail? Wow.

wow ! That's cool as hell.

I know that is freaking cool.

That's Reward Mine. It's an abandoned mine in Owens Valley off 395. It's just high enough to clear the roof rack lights and goes into the mountain about a mile. Very cool trek to make if you're in the area. Don't forget to fold down your CB/Ham radio antennas.

Ok so I'm probably going to try and join the guys on the Toyota 120 trip on 27th. They look pretty organized and already did it last year. Several of them appear to be on T4R as well.

Common, join in the group

Awesome!

I love to visit that place but 40 Hrs drive needs lot of planning. Very nice pictures and mine driving video.
