We recommend the following links for their relevence to dates or date products, the unique environment of the eastern Mojave desert, or simply because we find them to be worth taking a look at:

Ranch House Inn

A stay at the Ranch House Inn is very much like a visit to long-lost kin. There is a feeling of comfort and familiarity in this historic cottage (circa 1920). Innkeepers Nick and Cynthia Kienitz are busy in the kitchen or on hikes with the guests. Often, our local geologists, artist, or ranch owners will join in the spirited dinner conversation on our screened porches. This getaway boasts one clock, one phone and no TV or radio. Beepers and cell phones do not work here by the way. And don't even ask to check your email! If you let it, the inn and its surroundings will bestow a brief yet profound brush with the mysterious Mojave's elegant wonders, past and present.

Death Valley National Park

Death Valley National Park has more than 3.3 million acres of spectacular desert scenery, interesting and rare desert wildlife, complex geology, undisturbed wilderness, and sites of historical and cultural interest. Bounded on the west by 11,049 foot Telescope Peak and on the east by 5,475 foot Dante's View, Badwater is the lowest point (-282 feet) in the western hemisphere.
