I LOVE that place! There is a nice veranda out front with deep shade, and plenty of roadrunners around for a bit of amusement. This cat (check out those desert paw pads!) sat and drank with us...you pass through Panamint Valley (adjacent to Death Valley) - and a very cool, quiet little resort - Panamint Springs Resort - totally away from everything. The little lodge has a very cool little bar with a lot of REALLY GOOD imported beers.
