El Nino may affect Yosemite (and other parts of California) http://kron4.com/2015/10/22/video-yosemite-national-park-preparing-for-looming-el-nino/ http://www.weather.com/series/great-outdoors/video/yosemite-waterfall-comes-back-to-life

There was a woman shot and killed on Pier 14 (near the Ferry Building) in the middle of the day. http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Woman-killed-on-San-Francisco-pier-identified-6363401.php Later two television crews reporting about the murder were robbed and pistol whipped...

It is going to be 26 miles from Ubehebe Crater to the Grandstand parking area. So maybe 1.5 to 2 hours each way. Thus, the only way I can see this working is if you decide to spend the night camping (or in the car) by the Racetrack. Then at least you will get good light and then the trip will...

It is possible to do Racetrack with a normal sedan (I saw a few cars drive on the washboard road to the Racetrack), but it probably may not be the smartest idea. Driving to the Racetrack may be considered driving off road and the rental agreements may prohibit this. There is an outfit that...

I stayed at Stove Wells Village. It is so close to the Mesquite Sand Dunes. Maybe 5 minutes to the car park. Then you can catch sunrise or sunset or even astro-photography if that interests you (since it should be dark enough). BTW, if you are going to Hoover Dam in November this is...

During December, you will have about 10 hours of daylight to work with. There are two major routes to get to Death Valley from Las Vegas. US Route 95 enters the park near the Mesquite Sand Dunes. If you take this route, when you get to Beatty, you want to take Nevada Route 374. Stop and buy...

Death Valley is an amazing place. It is very big. Thus, it will take many days to fully appreciate the park without rushing. You can see sand dunes, the lowest point in North America (Badwater Basin), the sailing rocks (Racetrack), craters (Ubehebe Crater), etc. Rhyolite ghost town is...

Yes, try RescuePRO. http://www.lc-tech.com/pc/sandisk-rescuepro-and-rescuepro-deluxe/

You are probably going to have to rent a car if you want to visit Yosemite and Death Valley. Public transportation options from the National Park Service. Public transportation to Yosemite: http://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/publictransportation.htm No public transportation to Death...

And gasoline prices are also lower in NV than CA.

Death Valley is huge. You may consider Stove Pipe Wells if you want to stay in the park. http://www.deathvalleyhotels.com/ Stove Pipe Wells is essentially next to the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes. So you could wake up and see the sunrise over the sand. Valley of Fire and Red Rock Canyon...

These experiences are as of December 2014. I had a tripod in a tripod bag at Narita (International connection). They took it out and measured it. It was small enough to pass. In Myanmar, there was no problem carrying the same tripod (in the same tripod bag) for domestic flights. However, at...

Maybe they are great egrets which have yellow beaks and black legs?
