Not that is not real good news!
OK, I am the OP so guess I can kinda change this a little.
Plans were - until a couple of hours ago! :-) - to leave Likely on the 25th and be in Lee Vining on the 27th. Which, of course, meant the overnight in the Reno / Carson City area. This is not sounding real good now.
How would it be to just be driving thru? Have not driven thru there in about 3 years and think the roads have improved but not sure.
Are there any viable alternate routes? I don't see many options.
How would it be if arriving on the 29th (I would have to change some reservations but would probably be ok at this point).
Any and all input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
