Yea, I know I've been away from the family for a couple of months, but......... My driving partner Matt and I are planning to get away over the Memorial Day weekend. We'll be leaving Friday afternoon around 3:00pm and taking Hiway 108 over, if we make it that far. Photography is the main purpose but if I have to 4 wheel to get to where I want, so much the better. Caltrans says they expect to have 108 open for the weekend and the weather forcast for Dardanelle, which is just this side of the western gate, is clear and warm all week. So it should open. Unfortunately Tioga will still be closed. I was looking forward to Tuolumne Meadows. We have no particular destination in mind but seeing Bodie with snow is a thought. We will return home Monday afternoon. Camping is rough and where it can be found. Campgrounds are not out of the question, we just don't waste time looking for one. Let me know if you're interested and we'll set up a meeting point.
