Hey guys, Here is the route info with descriptions and links of the trip. Its more now a death valley trip versus nevada traverse. All of the locations are in the northern end of the valley and are the most remote. You will have to take the above files and place them into google earth to view the route.
The trip will start friday morning at 830 from the Albertsons on durango and 95. We will proceed north to Beatty where we will fuel up. From Beatty we will travel about 10-15 mi north to a cut off going west to Tokop NV http://www.robertwynn.com/Tokop.htm from there we will keep traveling west to Stateline NV http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/nv/goldmountain.html both are pretty close in distance from each other. We will contimue west along the Oriental wash to Death Valley road and then head north to Crankshaft junction. http://www.smeethpics.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=12&Itemid=15 following the old road west we come to the townsite of crater where alot of mining remnants are. From there we end up heading south to eureka sand dunes click the above link. after eureka we will head south to steele pass and dedereka canyon http://www.sportsmobileforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4521. Probally the only real technical portion of the trip. After steele pass we will come up to the hot springs. Next we will head down around Saline Valley and on toward Lippencott trail. which will dump us out on too the death valley race track and near both the Ubehebe lead mine http://www.ripleysghosttowns.com/ubehebe.html and down around the corner the Lost Burro Mine http://www.ripleysghosttowns.com/lostburro.html. From there we will exit near the Ubehebe Crater and back towards Beatty.
I am not setting any campground locations so we are not pushing it missing things so we can meet deadlines. Also I am packing enough for 4 days and 3 nights but I believe most of the roads we will be on like in saline valley we will be moving pretty quick soo we might finish sooner than later. Gas is a must bring plenty of extra!! I have not been in most of these area soo it will be new to me. Hopefully an epic trip!
