Subject:      GNATT Road Condition

I just checked the web page at the California Office of Emergency Service for road conditions and State Route 120 to the Yosemite High Country still shows as closed from 5 miles west of Hwy. 395 to Crane Flat.

However, Hwy. 108 <Sonora Pass> has been re-opened and Hwy 4 <Ebbett's pass?> is also shown to be open <though the web page at UC Davis shows it as still closed, go figure>. Yosemite Valley could be reached by crossing Sonora Pass and backtracking up Hwy 120 from the west side, but accomodations in the Valley are very problematic without advance reservations in my experience. Would there be any interest in a Gold Country GNATT stop at Columbia <picturesque>, Jamestown <cool steam railroad used in Petticoat Junction, the Wild, Wild West and Back to the Future III> or Sonora? A Highway 4 crossing could involve a stop at Lake Alpine or Calaveras Big Trees State Park, but that is more driving from the Mono Lake stop.

I don't know that I can attend any of these possibilities on account of having to pick up my nephew at the airport on Saturday, but a day trip on Sunday isn't out of the question.....
