Thanks to you both! If you've enjoyed this DV trip, please do check out the others; it's a place I love to go, and seems to be an endless playground for those willing to explore! All of my Death Valley trips: https://adventuretaco.com/tripdest/death-valley/

Clean Energy for My Tacoma - Time for a Fuel Filter Well, the Tacoma got a new fuel filter today. It's a part I've had sitting around for maybe 18 months now or so, just taking up room in the garage. Because, who needs to install a new filter when the one that's on there seems to be working...

Glad you're enjoying and that you've clicked through to the fuller versions over on the blog! It's a lot of fun to go out on these trips, and nice when others can enjoy a bit as well. Sounds great! ? The Mojave trip isn't quite done yet, still a few more days of that one to get up on to the...

Saline Warm Springs & Cerro Gordo: Once is Enough - In Search of Overlooks #4 Unlike most nights, where the temps seem to drop to their lowest point just before sunrise, our night high in ************ the Inyo Mountains turned out to be just the opposite. At some point, I was so warm that I even...

To Thunderbirds and Beyond - In Search of Overlooks #3 The night air was warm - probably 15°F warmer than it'd been in Eureka Valley - as the stars spun in the clear sky above. It was a great night, tucked away in our quiet, secluded corner of Saline Valley. Once again having gone to bed...

Old Roads and Star Trails - In Search of Overlooks #2 One benefit of going to bed at 7:30pm is that even waking up as the sun crested the Last Chance Range at 6:30am, I got a full night sleep...and then some. And that was a good thing - because even in my attempt to plan reasonable-length days...

In Search of Overlooks - A Fall Trip to Western Death Valley #1 Death Valley is not nearby, and yet - it continues to call time after time, urging us to make the 20 hour journey south to explore its wonders. And it's hard to say no. That's how - on a Wednesday morning - we found ourselves...

Unfinished Business #3 - We Find Jessi Combs Last Track The night wasn't quite as cold as the previous had been, but it was still well below freezing when I looked out the tent door to see an amazing glow on the horizon. Whether I liked it or not, I knew I was going to spend at least a few...

No worries at all! I know I can be a bit wordy sometimes, hahahaha! Have fun "squeezing over" that bridge. ;)

Thanks so much! Was a fantastic time, so I'm glad you enjoyed. I shoot with a Canon 80D, but there's a lot more to it than that. I wrote up this post to try to explain my approach: If You Take Enough Photos, Some Are Bound to be Decent

I did follow (mostly - I always find side routes that look interesting whenever I run a BDR, and so take little journeys that aren't on their routes) the ridebdr.com route for the most part. I was worried about that 50" bridge as well when I saw it on the map. I decided to just play it by ear...

Unfinished Business #2 - Highest Truck in Oregon Hoping to catch the stars as they danced through the sky, you may recall that I'd setup the camera to take as many 30 second exposures as it could, until its battery ran out, through the cold night. As morning rolled around, I grabbed a second...

Thanks! Most of the time, I don't even use my flash - I find that it adds an unnatural light, so I just try to use long exposures. But, sometimes I have to use a flash if there's not enough light around... which is going to be an issue with a new flashless camera I just picked up. Better...
