The skeletal remains of a Goleta couple missing for nearly three years have been found in a shallow grave in a remote area about 40 miles east of Lone Pine in Inyo County, authorities said Tuesday. Barry Berman, 36, and his wife, Louise, 52, were identified in Bishop through dental records. They disappeared in January, 1986, in Saline Valley, a rocky 12-mile-long corridor between the White Mountains and the boundary of Death Valley National Monument. The remains showed no obvious signs of violence, according to Sheriff's Lt. Jack Goodrich, but he said, "Our opinion is that it's foul play."
But with the ever-constant creep of light pollution, maintaining the darkness is not an easy task. Since the designation, the park's employees have been focusing on how to make the park even darker.
Reynolds, 45, ... takes over at Death Valley, where he served as a ranger from 2000 to 2004, May 31. In his new position, he will manage a staff of 125 full-time employees and oversee an annual budget of nearly $9 million.

I'd say that Trona-Wildrose Road is the number one priority and that the Keane Wonder Mine is the second most important problem that needs solving. More back country access would also be a good thing. Too many roads have been closed in recent years.
