Yosemite Pines Campground, Groveland, CA

Today's Photo - Some Switchbacks on CA 49















It was a nice day for the drive to Yosemite, at least the RV park we will be staying at for the next 3 days. We are in site 14 at the Yosemite Pines RV Resort & Family Lodging. I guess adding "& Family Lodging" turns a resort into a place I like to stay at. Much nicer than last night with shade at the site, nearby bathrooms with nice showers, and plenty of room for both the tent & trailer. A total of $109.80 for 3 nights.

The drive was interesting. Most of the way was on CA 99, a freeway. We switched to CA 140, then to CA 49. CA 49 follows the path made by the 1849 gold miners, and has many turns & switchbacks. Carol & I drove this section on our 2004 trip, in fact I took the same photo then as I have above. Quite a road, although the section of CA 120 we took to get to Groveland (the location of out campground) also has its ups & downs. At least it was a bit wider.


We are settled into the campsite and about to get something for dinner, send some mail, and deal with paying bills.

Till Tomorrow...
