~ 166 Airports, Fields, or off road (4 Countries- hopefully more soon :)

If you put all your airports/off airports on SkyVector, you can make a cool map of the places you've been.  These are mine:

      In North American Continent (US, Mex, Canada, Hawaii)

      In AUSTRALIA  (MegaFauna 2014, etc)

So, the current plan is to go in early Fall when it's still warm (but not too) and conditions are rather mellow.  I will likely fly all the way out, but Ken LP and Doug suggested flying in from close by--  you wouldn't want to drive there (because it is many many many miles of tough washboard road)--  which makes it rare and special to be able to get there, especially by air.   Again, you won't want to...

So, the current plan is to go in early Fall when it's still warm (but not too) and conditions are rather mellow.  I will likely fly all the way out, but Ken LP and Doug suggested flying in from close by--  you wouldn't want to drive there (because it is many many many miles of tough washboard road)--  which makes it rare and special to be able to get there, especially by air.   Again, you won't want to miss this !!    So .... the plan is to start from Lone Pine (which Ken N & I flew out of and LOVED as seen HERE.  Very nice place to stay and fly.  Spend a night or two at Chicken Strip & the rest in/around the Owens Valley / Lone Pine.

Lone Pine is at 3710 elevation.  We could fly South toward Death Valley (which is a "cool" place to fly, then through the gap at 5,000 and up toward Chicken Strip  (51 NM,  or 60 Statute Miles).
