Main reason for going to SD is going to the Zoo. Like someone said, that Zoo just isn't everywhere. We also planned SD for the 4th of July. That's where we wanted to be to watch fireworks.
My main dread in this trip is LA on I5. Is there any way around LA to Yosemite without going to dreaded 120 which I've read isn't RV friendly?
Again, my wife and I have to say thank you to everyone for all the info. Wish I had done this sooner before our planning and making reservations. Are there any good places to stay around Yosemite that's not in the park incase we can't get more reservations? Again, we have only 1 night in the park but if we change the sched. and get more time, we obviously need somewhere to stay. Anyone?
An alternative to avoid L.A.--
1. Take i-5 north to Hwy. 57. Continue of 57 to 210 then head west to I-5. Take I-5 over the Grape. You then have a straight shot to Yosemite. Just take your time going over the Grape Vine and use that Exhaust Brake and lower gears going down. When you get to the top of the Grape Vine, get over in the far right hand lane with all the truckers so you can keep your speed down without backing up traffic:)
Is there a restriction on RV's at Tunnel View? Never had to check with my rig. I've taken I-5 and 99 to 41. I prefer coming in to Yosemite on 41 but never had to worry about the tunnel. The road is winding as is 120. Hwy 140? I don't remember.
