Highway 4 to Yosemite

This portion of the road actually had a centerline!

I guess our first clue should have been the sign that stated " Not recommended for vehicles over 24 feet"  The 5th wheel alone is 30 feet long. Our second clue should have been the sign that stated "Steep,curves,narrow road".    Highway 4, (and I use the term "highway" loosely) over Ebbetts Pass..elevation 8700 plus feet...is a narrow,twisty,steep road. In most portions there is no centerline and several hairpin turns. Jack compared it to driving on a golf cart path. We did ask a construction worker at the beginning of the road whether or not it was okay for RV's...his response "Sure we take semi's over it all the time."  While Jack drove I scanned the road  ahead  for oncoming traffic so we could edge over to the right as far as possible. It was very scenic with waterfalls and beautiful vistas but there was really no place to ever pull over to enjoy the views.

We made it to the Yosemite Lakes RV park in the afternoon and this place is very very remote! It is 4 miles from the entrance to the park...but there is no cell phone service and wifi only at the lodge.  The nearest town is 18 miles away.The packet we got upon check in was down right scary....several pages warning of bears,cougars,snakes and one warning" do not tease the snakes"  uh okay!!! Not a problem.

Today we'll go into the park. A chilly night...30 degrees but the sun is out now and it looks like it will be a nice day.
