Peaceful

Mostly had the place to myself. Lots of roads to explore with my motorcycle. A few campers come in toward evening but most leave in the morning. I've seen herds of Burros on rides and hear them at night but none came to my camp. Service with Verizon was more than ample. All in all a great spot.

Quiet

Seemed like a perfect spot just outside of Death Valley. It is coyote country and wild donkey country too lol, so be careful at night. Easy to find spots, recommend a 4x4. Probably not impossible with a car, but be smart. Great for stars too
