Description
This is a three day run to the southern Death Valley Shoshone area.
Find your way to Baker on Highway 15 and take Highway 127 North 51 Miles to the Furnace Creek dirt road (Club sign & Highway sign) and turn left to camp (club sign). We'll be dry camping about 1.7 miles North of highway 127 on Furnace Creek Road. The turn onto Furnace Creek road is 246 miles from San Clemente.
Camp is only 9 miles from Shoshone. We have camped there in the past. Bring some firewood. Motorhomes and trailers will have no problem getting to camp.
There is a motel, restaurant, bar, gas, and supplies in Shoshone. No need to bring extra gas cans. You can always fill up on gas at the end of each day. You may want to eat at the restaurant rather than cook hot dogs in the dirt...your call.
If you are coming Friday morning, plan to be there about noon. At about 1 PM we’ll head out for some trails and maybe make a stop at the Tacopa Brewery on the way back to camp. If you plan on arriving Friday afternoon or evening then we’ll see you in camp late in the day.
Saturday will be a long cross country run so plan on lunch on the trail. Where we go Saturday is still being mapped out. More on that later.
Sunday morning we’ll break camp and head towards home. There’s a high probability we’ll go to Ibex Springs ghost town and mines on our way to Baker.
