Oh sweet baby Jesus. I definitely posted while you were posting and my prayers were answered. I haven't been out to Crystal Hills in almost 10 years and thought it'd be a good place to drag the wife out to. Got a big laugh out of the _just kidding_ shortcut you took across the base land. Took a similar photo when I had the chance.
Having to get a permit at Hell, I mean Furnace Creek Visitor Center, for dispersed camping on Greenwater Valley Road is a total drag. In the past I've dispersed camped on Gold Valley Road which is a trek in when you're just looking for somewhere to crash real quick off of Salsberry Pass or on the north end if you want to hit Dantes at sunrise or sunset.
Also having West Side Road and Lemoigne closed is making it real hard for dispersed camping. You do have options in Warm Spring Canyon road though ... but it's a bit of a zoo sometimes with the 4x4 Moar Powar Crowds.
And ... taking a look at DVNP map now, that road out to the radar array is considered closed right now. Whoops. Oh well.
