      Furnace Creek has one. And Stovepipe wells has another. But you will pay through the nose.

      Shoshone it's 30 miles out of pahrump. Best to get gas in pahrump nv as it's cheaper than CA gas. .

    Good overview, but you missed so much. Should have done a walk-a-round at the Inn and Ranch. The ranch has RV facilities, motel, restaurants, stables and much more. The golf course and date farm are worth a look. Each October there is a festival held to commemorate the wagon trains and settlers. 20 mule team, western art show, music festivals, golf tournament, wagon train. Much more. 49'er Encampment. Much fun.
