Would have been completely different routes as well if it were not for the snow. Next time we "Do Yosemite" we'll have a hotel WEST of Yosemite... |

Pass the problem on to me! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Actually, it would still work as I can go 80 to 99 or 5 so... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Turns out it was a beautiful drive and no traffic, no problem. I enjoyed the drive both to and from. In the end another great WCR thanks to all.
