Some years ago, I hiked into the Panamint dunes and to the top of the tallest one. Whilst there, a passing fighter jet noticed me, changed course and dropped in altitude and did a 720 around me. After I waved at him, he resumed his journey.
It's so hard to find peace and quiet ;-)
For those seeking solitude and a bit of adventure, don't just stop at the Eureka dunes. Keep following the track behind them, and then through the mountains, ending up at the hot springs in the Saline Valley. Not for the timid.
