The more I look into this, the more I think Yosemite is not going to be worth the hassles for this particular trip. Maybe I'm wrong.
We'll have a dog in the RV, and she'll have to stay in it whenever we are doing things inside the park. Other than her potty breaks.
It sounds likely we would have to camp outside the park. With no toad, we then fight our way into the park and try to find parking for the day, line up for shuttles, and then have (how long?) to do (how much?) before we fight our way back out. It sounds like long days, and not very relaxing. Am I too pessimistic about that?
The alternative would be what we usually do, which is set up camp in some nice locale for 3-5 days, and take it easy. Dog walks, sit out and read, have a campfire, and do a local something every other day. Then move on, and repeat.
It feels like sacrilege to go to this part of CA and not see Yosemite. But maybe another time, planned ahead. Probably with no dog, and a toad.
What say you?
