It sure didn't do me any favors. After having been down in the Owlshead & Butte Valley for 4 nights, we rolled back north through Furnace Creek after 2pm on March 4 to grab some gas and all the pumps were shut off. Signs taped on them that said: "Due to a planned power outage, service station will be closed on March 4th 2021." – running low on gas we zoomed over to Stovepipe Wells and didn't even bother to stop as there were construction cones blocking the pumps.
We ended up driving over to Panamint Springs Resort for gas which was great – rather give them our money, but it meant we had to drop our plans for a last night at Stateline "Ghost Town" and ended up on Lee Flat instead. Details to follow.
Does anyone have more insight as to what happened with the power outage? Total PITA from our perspective. Not sure what it was like for folks hanging out in the actual facilities.
