In March of 2008, I traveled to Death Valley for the first time, and stumbled upon this vehicle of unknown origin parked near Badwater Basin. I'm glad I snapped a picture of it, because it's stuck with me ever since, a vehicle unlike any I had ever seen before, and still quite unlike any of the overland vehicles I've seen since.
Does anyone know what it is, or who it was (now 8+ years later)?
