We stopped here after seeing this ghost town on Google Maps, the road is a little shaky but any car can make it, just take it slow, the guy at the visitor center has a lot of information about the town and is very friendly. Don't forget to grab a t-shirt from their store and leave your dues per car. On the way back to the main road we got to see some jets flying over very cool.
A must-stop location if you're passing through Panamint Valley. Very friendly Liz is there to answer questions. The store is stocked with simple snacks and cold drinks, along with t-shirts, maps decals, and other souvenirs from your visit. A clean restroom is available 24/7.
I stopped in there about seven years ago. No one around except the gentleman in the store. They said they had the coldest beer in town, so I bought one. It wasn't cold, but they didn't lie, it was the coldest beer in town. I love unspoiled ghost towns, and this one fits the bill. I used to go with my dad in the 1950s to his mines south of Death Valley. I always loved going through these old areas. This place brought back some great memories.
