Furnace Creek (L06) airport in Death Valley should state the runway is in poor condition with wide cracks and curled up asphalt at the cracks. No known date for repair.

You have it listed as "good condition".

Roger Hansen's comment lists Furnace Creek's runway condition as "poor".  "Fair" would be a better descriptor, just above "Poor" using an "Excellent", "Good", "Fair", "Poor" rating scale.  The cracks are small in width and curled asphault edges are maybe an inch high.  I landed there 9/30/19 (C172) and you notice the raised edges of the cracks on rollout, taxiing and takeoff but they do not deflect the controls or appear to overly abuse the tires.  A commercial 20 passenger tour aircraft (Twin Otter I think) landed just before I left the next day.  I wouldn't hesitate to fly in again.

This is what your tires will hit at 60-100mph, depending on aircraft.   The runway is covered with these ridges, probably frost damage from last year.   Good luck avoiding.

I would rate the runway okay.  It's full of small expansion cracks and a few shallow potholes, but presented no problems for the 5.00 tires on my Tailwind.  Absolutely no services or amenities.  A 10 minute walk gets you to the Visitors Center and hotels.  Nearest fuel is Beatty, NV or Lone Pine, CA.  Stark and scenic terrain.  Lots of military training activity in the area.
