SPRING BREAK ROAD TRIP
Yosemite, Central California Coast, and San Fransico
The Jones Family RV Express
We drove from SLC to Reno where we parked in the SCHEEL's parking lot to spend our first night. At 1AM the security guard awakened us and told us that we were not allowed to park RV's in that parking lot. So much for internet knowledge. We moved the RV to a street just outside the SCHEEL's parking lot and slept through the remainder of the night.
The next day we made it to a campsite about an hour outside of Yosemite National Park. We didn't dare drive into the park and find all the last-minute RV sites full. Every mile in the RV is about $.50 in gas so we don't like to back-track if it can be avoided. We spend a very quite night near a nice lake. Noah ended up with Poison Oak rash due to an early morning hike through the woods, but thankfully it cleared up without much problem.
The next day we drove into Yosemite and reserved a last minute RV site for the next two nights. We felt fortunate to be travelling in the shoulder season when such reservations were available through a lottery system. In the summer we would have been OUT OF LUCK. The next two days were spent enjoying the splendor of Yosemite. Granite cliffs, bike rides along the Valley floor. Hikes up the valley walls, along pristine rivers, and through the giant Sequoia groves. A few of our photos are included below:
