Exploring From Death Valley Junction to Panamint Springs

This piece is a bit long so bear with me. Even having edited almost twenty minutes of footage, I thought the story would suffer cutting any more.
This actually begins at Death Valley Junction and ends at Panamint Springs. Two places many people don't even know about! It's another "semi-abandoned" adventure!
Death Valley Junction, near the northern end of the Amargosa Valley, was a transportation hub for 20 Mule Teams and following that era, was served by two railroads; the Tonopah and Tidewater and the Death Valley Railroad prior to the huge borax discovery at Boron. Death Valley and the Amargosa Valley were once the primary source of borax in America.
Panamint Springs is a little known desert resort with rooms and camping at the northwestern edge of the Panamint Valley on highway 190. The small restaurant and bar serves great food. Although a bit pricey, it is worth the drive and the ambiance!
So, join Jennifer and me as we take the back road home from Vegas through Death Valley Junction, Furnace Creek (The Ranch at Death Valley), Harmony Borax Works, The Devil's Cornfield, Mesquite Dunes, into Panamint Valley over Townes Pass and finally to Panamint Springs for dinner!
