Panamint Springs is less expensive than Furnace Creek and all the facilities (gas, store, cafe, shower, & internet) are right there rather than having to go down the road a mile or two. Just remember when you are doing your planning Panamint Springs is already booked up from the 28th - 31st for a bunch of other ADVers

I'll be arriving for the rally early (the 24th) before the crowds and it would be nice to see you guys down there if our dates in the valley overlap.
