I know these road questions bug some people, but when all you have is Google Maps, and this site, with all the helpful folks, I find it much better to ask here.
We will be leaving Yosemite later this year,(hopefully) heading for the Sequoia area, Badger to be specific, we will be in our 29' class C with toad & dolly, google wants to send me down Ca 41, the grades don't seem extreme but the road looks very narrow, with many low hanging branches, at one point is a tunnel with a posted height of 13-6 southbound, but shown as 10-2 northbound, I know the 13-6 is probably at the center, but the lanes don't look wide enough to hug the center without wiping out the on coming traffic.
The other route, CA 140, looks like a much better road, but has a couple issues I'm confused on,
1. Google street view shows a couple temporary (Bailey) bridges, the view though is from 2007, have they been replaced by permanent bridges?
2. There are signs showing length restrictions, but with the poor quality of a "zoomed" view, I can't make out the sign to tell what the restriction is.
Rand Mc Nally has an excellent folding large scale map of Calif. and the Calif DOT has a great web site that has photos of the roads and tells of all the restrictions.
I personally have very little confidence in either Mapquest or Google maps for accuracy and detail.
