Wonderful pictures, and it looks like you all had an absolute hoot!
Glad to see some of the more-stock trucks were able to get out there too. Were you all able to make it out to the Lowest Point in America? (I'm trying to remember the name, but forgot) It's a salt flat...
I've done Titus before and a good amount of the southern end of the park, including Zabriskie Point, but never to the upper end. The pictures are very helpful for my trip planning- I've always wanted to do the North end. Now to start planning it out with my girlfriend...

You probably mean badwater. I did on Thursday before the group met up as I wanted to see some of the more "touristy" attractions..
Feel free to shoot me a PM if you want any help, I studied the maps quite extensively before our trip.

Day 1 - We met up with Daniel in Ridgecrest and after lunch headed to Trona Pinnacles.
From there we topped off our tanks at the Valero in Trona, then of to the Charcoal kilns.
After a few photos we headed up the hill to camp at Mahogany Flat (8133 ft).
It's a fine camp, quite/peaceful just the way it should be. The other campers were in the same mode - enjoying the view and relaxing.

We had coffee and tea to kick start the chilly morning. Daniel cooked up a breakfast of Blueberry pancakes and sausage for the guys and Molly went healthy with granola and yogurt. Shortly there after Daniel hit the road to catch the sights down below in the valley. Molly, Koa, Belle and I lazied around camp for the remainder of the morning enjoying the quite and the view. On our way down the hill to Wildrose campground we pulled of onto a jeep trail to explore. We came across the foundation of a cabin from days gone by.

Great report and pics. Thanks for taking the time to share these.
DV is an incredible place. We were there for 4 days last weekend exploring many of the same places. I was most impressed with Titus Canyon. We drove through just before sunset and had the whole place to ourselves.
