I don't have any GPS waypoints for you, however...I can tell you a good way to go from what you listed. From Hwy 395/Big Pine take hwy 168 to Death Valley road to South Eureka Road that takes you by Eureka Dunes, through Dedekera Canyou/Steele Pass to Warm /Palm springs. Lots of available camping there with bathrooms. From there Saline Valley Road east to Lippencott Road (quite an experience) which will take you to Racetrack/Teakettle Junction/Ubehebe Crater and so on. All these locations are extremely easy to find without waypoints. If you're initially north in Hwy 395, there's a ranger station as you you enter Lone Pine, on the right, that has good maps and info. If you check out Trip Planning, you'll see we have a group doing this trip November 11-13, of course you're invited if the data work for you. All these locations can be found on YouTube.
