Hi Armin,
Are we staying put at the base camp (Panamint resort)? I see you can rent a tent cabin
 
yes we will basecamp there and run various day / halfday routes in groups depending on interest ie see flowers, go rockcrawl, explore a mine etc
 
what is the cost per vehicle to overnight within our group? has the dry group site been RSVP or do we need to RSVP ourselves to satay at the resort?
 
Book on your own - Suggest to wait and see who signs up and then team up to make a reservation. the Dry RV sites (46-71) can accommodate 2-3 vehicles.

We'll talk more about logistics at our meetup on 4/16
 
Heads up to everyone-i called and made my RSVP at the resort for a small tent cabin, but i was told for everyone else to reserve ASAP since it might get full.
 
I'm somewhat new at this and not into rock crawling; is this an appropriate trip?
 
Most of these trips I have been on have multiple routes and most vehicles can make them. Did Mojave with a stock landcruiser on street tires, Anza Borego had bypasses for any "obstacle", Big Bend was a bit bumpy but nothing crazy. No real rock crawling unless your vehicle is equipped for it. There are a couple people attending that have rigs ready for rock crawling but like I said it's mostly camping and cruising.
 
Wish I found this earlier. Always had fun base camping at Panamint.
