Death Valley in December

[arctictraveller]

While getting another fuel pump installed in Barstow, I spent time looking at the map and realized that I could catch the Nugget 250 desert race in Pahrump on the weekend and then head to Death Valley on Monday.
I don't have a firm destination, but Pahrump is close to an amazing old miners cabin I've stayed at before. I've been sworn to secrecy about it's location but if anyone cares to join me, I'll lead the way. Beyond that, I'm open to a few days exploration if anyone is interested. 4wd is recomended, but not manditory.
