Thank you for the kind words everyone. Much appreciated and thank you for all your loyal visits to our website.
We carried 5 gallons on the trailer and we have a 24 gallon aux fuel tank we filled. Our range with the 2) 24 gallon tanks under the 80 is such that only in a extreme situation like a huge back track or large diversion on this trip would mean we'd need to rely on the 5 gallons on the trailer. We have the capability to carry another 7) 5 gallon cans up top, but hardly do. I find our range can get us to most fuel stations before needing anything up on the rack so why carry the extra weight.
Thank you for the kind words. There's a .gpx file on the link at the bottom of the report. I have to give credit to NVPROSPECTOR on this board. Tim France as he is the one that scouted the route before i drove it. He knows much more of the area, then i will ever know.
The abandoned trailer park is located about 7 miles west of the Death Valley Junction.
Just finished the report. AWESOME. Definitely on my "list"!
I was also going to ask about fuel but you answered it at the very end. Did you take reserve fuel too?

Very nice report! I'm interested in the route you took from Rhyolite, do you have a map showing the route you can post?
I'm also interested in the abandoned trailer park you found North of Dumont Dunes. I drove that route on my way home and don't remember seeing it - it it close to the town of Shoshone?
Anyway, again, great report, thanks for the photos.
