All of our Death Valley camping/hiking photos are geolocated: https://www.flickr.c...157626377094340
You can look at the map on flickr or look at the EXIF information for each photo to get the gps coordinates.

I think I have 5 posts on Death Valley, not a lot but a few ideas. Best way to find them is to go to the map page https://www.occidentalist.org/map/ scroll in to the Death Valley area and click on the pin to go to the post. Digonnet's book on hiking the valley is my recommendation for getting you where you want to go, with a lifetime of ideas.

Yep. It was an ordeal and a long story but the short version was that once we walked a few miles and got spotty cell service, a tow truck (aka Cat D9) came and got us out. There's so much more to the story but after about 8 hrs we headed out of DV and to a hotel where we could shower, re-group, etc. and headed on to Baja (DV was a detour for a few days).

The 2 links posted have a lot of info. Ski3Pin spends a lot of time there and we're working our way through their trip reports.
