I'm sure $38k of that $40k was the armored car contract, which is insane for such small amounts - less than $500/week.

I'm kind of stunned they didn't have any random entrance employee run a bag down to the bank once a week/month. Send them home an hour early to do it. It's what we used to do in retail, banks have unattended drops for use 24/7.

Death Valley NP is pretty remote, no? “Run a bag down to the bank” is probably a significant errand.

To add to this Death Valley is bigger than Delaware. It has multiple entrances that are over 90 minutes apart. To visit all of them and then and then get to the nearest bank could be half a day if not a whole day.

I would not be surprised if there is some government regulation that is making this more complicated than it needs to be, but its a tough problem reguardless.
