Have to agree with the late night idea.....I will normally plan my trip so that I hit the grade out of Bishop in the cooler late night/early AM time period, besides I love that Rest area just before you get to the June Lake loop. It just so happens this year, Im going up the 99 to hit the American River first then to Lake Tahoe after but Ill still be doing this at night too.
Acampingwewillgo,
When I posted the original thread about that trip and the benefits of night time driving, I received very mixed reviews. Some don't like any night driving and some can tolerate it just fine. Some have very much difficulty in judgment in driving due to impaired vision and, they also sort of "chastised" me for doing such maneuvering at night in camp sites while folks were sleeping. Well, as usual, a simple thread turned into WWIII.
In any case, we'll be doing the exact same run, from San Diego to the rest stop about 30 south of Bishop, starting at 12:30 midnight in or around the early part of July. That rest stop, is a nice place take a break and get some rest. And, hopefully, since the radiator and CAC are seriously cleaner now, we should have better cooling. Even when it was that clogged up, the engine ran fine in temps until we hit some grades.
Hope everyone has a good time on their trips this summer, as long as we can all afford diesel fuel.
