This morning we left the Monterey peninsula behind and headed for the Sierra Mountains. There are three national parks and on national monument along the Sierra mountain range. Our first stop is in Oakhurst CA, just outside the southern entrance to Yosemite National Park. The drive over took us back the way we had come from I-5 to get to Marina 10 days ago. There is one big climb along that route before we hit I-5. After I-5 we had two additional big climbs to get to Oakhurst. The truck pulled us up just fine, but the transmission temperatures did climb up to 135 degrees, which was to be expected considering the outside temperatures were in the high 70s. We are staying at the High Sierra RV and Mobile Park ($34 per night with Escapees Discount). We’re only 16 miles from the entrance to Yosemite but 45 miles from the Yosemite Valley. The hook ups at our site (44) are good. We have one very tall shade tree that is dropping acorns once in a while which sound like we are being hit by bullets. Otherwise, it seems to be a comfortable place to stay for 8 nights.
