  1. Having hiked a lot in Yosemite and climbed Half Dome when I was much younger, I can not imagine a survey party wanting to drag themselves and their equipment up there. Even with the "ladder" ( ladder picture ) installed by the Park Department on the east side, it's a steep climb in thin air from the end of the pack trail to the top of the dome. The peak of Cloud's Rest (2 miles NE), along with Mount Hoffman and Red Peak are much more accessible.
  2. I have been using PhotoImpact (by Ulead) but it seems that any photo manipulation software with text annotation capability should work fine. TeacherMatt, your labeling looks fine to me. I have been including a "photo number with cardinal direction" as a third parameter as listed in section II-B of the photo instructions.
  3. This one looks pretty cool. Who will log it first? http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/News/LewisClark/

  6. NGS suggests using a yellow crayon to highlight the lettering for photographic purposes. Have a look at http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/PROJECTS/INSTRUCTIONS/Digital_Photo_Requirements.pdf
