Probably not the best sign you’d find fun things in a town with the word “death” in the name. But hey, I’m ever the optimist…with access to google maps. So if you do blow out a tire and are stuck in this area of California, it won’t be a total loss. Unless you get kidnapped by some inbred mechanic.
