Death Valley 10/2011
Just got back from my first trip to Death Valley. Amazing views, some good off roading and a lot of fun.
We took 190 to Saline Valley Rd. Wound our way up and down to Lippencott 4x4 trail, to the Racetrack Playa. We then continued to Ubehebe crater, Scotty's Castle and Furnace Creek.

Campsite 1st night - Just along Saline Valley Rd.
Saline Valley Rd.
Trail Rated Ram?
Brother-in-law's Rubicon
Panamint Valley Dunes from Saline Valley Rd.
We found water... it was almost shocking - although you're pretty high up on Saline Valley Rd.
Having Fun
Heading down into the Saline Valley
Wide angle of the Saline Valley
Sign denoting Lippencott Pass turnoff... desert style
The road to Lippencott
At the top - I didn't actually get any photos going up Lippencott - my frind has a video - I'll see if I can get it.
255,000mi on the clock and still going
Racetrack Playa
How the rocks really move...
Close up of the dry flat surface
The number 7
Can wind really move this?
Teakettle Junction - you could have probably just read the sign
Ubehebe Crater - I wasn't very excited to see this - but as it turns out it's very cool. The size was unbelievable and the colors were amazing. The pictures do not do this justice.
Looking Down from "Little Hebe"
Getting Hot
Campsite Day 2
Badwater Basin - Low and Hot
Walking out onto the salt bed
Sea Level is the white spec in the middle of the frame
Planking may be out - but below sea level planking? Lowest Man in America.
On the way out - we are planning on another trip sometime - too much ground to cover in a short trip.

Awesome looking trip and I like the looks of your runner. Ive got a 91 that is about to get a 2" BJ/Springs.
I was wondering what front bumper/lightbar that is? Looks really good.

I really don't know who made it - the previous owner put it on. I'd like to get rid of it frankly. I would like to place lights up top for better visibility. The current set up works great right in front of you but doesn't have much range.
