I was last in Death Valley my Freshman year of high school, so roughly four years ago. I have no idea. Especially since my mom did all the driving. However there was a ghost town along the road someways up that was probably the creepiest place I've ever been AND we hit Trona after Ridgecrest, I don't know if that helps at all.

Anyway, I'm glad you liked it.
