What worries me more is actually that some of the most interesting roads
close for the winter at some point around the time I get there. I've been
unable to find any fixed dates for closures, so I guess it depends on
local weather conditions.
checking (http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/roadinfo/clsdlst.htm) shows scheduled
closing of route 120 for Dec 17, barring earlier closure for snow.

Thanks Jack!
I'm no stranger to snowy roads. I've looked briefly into buying snow
chains, and got the impression that cheap ones would be easier to find in
towns closer to the Sierras. I have a set for my own car that goes on and
off in a couple of minutes, and will try to find something with a similar
patent.

Envy you, Jostein. I know you'll hit it hard and I'm sure a lot of the
results will be satisfying..
You've listed about everything you should for the area. You're a bit late
for peak fall colors, but there is so much else I don't think you'll
miss it.
So much of that area is at high elevations, so am hoping winter conditions
aren't a part of your experience. Carry chains in your rental car. They
can be very expensive if you have to buy them have them installed by a
chain monkey.
Best,
Jack

Hi gang,
Long time no posting.
Thanks to everyone who posted tips and advice when I first aired the
prospect back in May. Since then, my head’s been very full of other
stuff. A
new job, among other things. Now the trip is getting sorted. Even the
rental
car is booked.
The plans for where to go when include Yosemite for a couple of days
first,
and then cross over to Lee Vining for a visit to Bodie, Mono Lake, and
some
general goofing around. Then south to Mammoth, and hopefully some
excursion
into the Ansel Adams wilderness to see if I can find some interesting
volcanic formations. I know there are some pretty spectacular basalt
columns, and possibly some hot springs and stuff. After that, I plan
to aim
for the Bristlecone Pines Park and eventually down to Death Valley;
but
that's as far as my planning goes. Except that I'd really like to stop
by to
see the sandhill cranes in San Joaquin County on my way back towards
San
Francisco.
I'll be landing in San Fran on Sunday 27. Oct, and fly out on Saturday
16.
November.
If any PDML'ers would like to meet up, somewhere in California or
Nevada,
give me a ping. :-)
Jostein
