Death Valley's Internet Cafe

Communicating with the world in Death Valley?

In a nutshell:  fuggetaboutit.  There isn’t a signal.

Well, there is a small signal at one small spot in the whole of Death Valley.  We accidentally found it while driving, and then found at Stovepipe Wells that people drive there to get a signal.

One small spot.  We can get enough cell reception for texts and, barely, email reception, although that was iffy.

And it is “only” 35 miles from our campsite which, given the mileage of our truck, means it costs us about $25 to check for messages.

Here we are, at Death Valley’s internet café, trying to contact people who have emailed or texted us.  One is really off the grid here--maybe the last place on earth one can say that.
