Restrooms outside Post Office Building, quiet fountain. Shoshone Museum across the highway. It is so good to be in a Pod. I kept thimking about the Jayhawker Party crossing this desert in their wagons, leaving dead Jayhakers, oxen and horses dead on the trail as the Timbisha Shoshone watched from a distance. We have Chevron fuel, cold Sprite, air conditioning, four new tires and a fine engine taking us to Needles.

I did my homework and I knew that this gas station inside Death Valley National Park, near the…read moreVisitor Center is more expensive. But we wanted to gas up a bit, for safety, so we stopped by. It is kinda small, cramped, harder to come in and out. But it's convenient and since distances are so big within the park, it's great to have it around, as a peace of mind. Paid with a credit card, no issues, convenient, onward to the next spot!

When I visit Death Valley I see two landmarks of extremes. The first is Badwater, which is the…read morelowest point in the Western Hemisphere. The second is the Furnace Creek Service Station Chevron sign which shows the highest point in gasoline prices in the Western Hemisphere. Normally $5.56 per gallon gasoline prices would raise somebody's temperature over and above the recorded 134 degree high in Death Valley. Here is an example of the extremity of their fuel prices. On March 28, 2013 The Tribune talked over San Luis Obispo County having the most expensive gas in California. Their average is $4.27 per gallon. That is over a $1 less than the price shown on the Furnace Creek Chevron sign. Fortunately we filled up in Pahrump, and laughed this off as a joke. The laugh factor of the high gasoline prices at Furnace Creek Service Station are the equivalent of the high calories at the Heart Attack Grill. They might as well promote it in souveneirs that say something like "I survived the highest gas prices." Normally I would reward highway robbery (my perception) with one star. There are a couple of reasons I am rating it two stars. Having a gas station in the noman's land that is Death Valley is the better option of no gas station. The gas price sign makes a good picture. In hindsight I could of stood in front of it for a temporary profile picture. I also like a joke. Some things are so obnoxious I take it as a joke. Whenever I return to Death Valley I will fill up the fuel tank in Pahrump, Nevada or Baker California. If I fill up the fuel tank in Death Valley, the joke will be on me.

Again, it's a nice stop to relax and recharge... too many people blast thru this national treasure of wonderment at top speeds, both in terms of MPH and racing the clock. Enjoy the ride.

At TIS Gasoline, there's only one pump and NO 91 gas. Which makes a big difference for us motorcyclists. So, we went here to KWIK Serve that does offer 91 gas and has 4 pumps. Keep in mind- you will not have cell service here. But, staff inside are super friendly and chatted with us for a bit. As did some of the locals & other folks passing by. There's one gender neutral bathroom that is really clean & smells like Lysol.

The staff was friendly and the prices were in line with what you would expect given its location.

Sand dunes, flat shrub desert, etc. I came to Sandy Valley around when the Sun was starting to set. I parked on a patch of road that overlooked the valley. Not asound of a bird, generator, or traffic could be heard. The Sun covered the vallley in gold and the distance wind made it sound so peaceful. The contours of the mountains' shadows really shows their true beauty. It was a very peaceful moment with no worry in to be found. I drank my water and looked at something I only thought I would see in the movies. I could see the town from where I was at on the mountain road and drove a couple more miles before reaching this here gas station. Already closed, but the pumps still worked. Took card. I had enough gas to make it back to Vegas safe and sound, but not enough to just park off to the side and let the engine run. The pump took my card and I got a full tank of gas. I drove out to the desert part of this town about MAYBE a mile out and I watched the stars. While I sat there drinking my wine and enjoying a little bit of the Devil's Cabbage, I made a wish to a shooting star. I can't remember what the wish was or if it ever came true, but I would like to think so. I know it may be just a gas station to some folks, but those pumps help make something special happen. Ive only been there once, but I want to come back one day. Hopefully one day soon. Here is the Valley of Gold known as Sandy Valley.
