Yosemite Cabin Information - cross post

Hmmm, you may have something there Alex. 120 to 49 to 140 is a good deal shorter. I think I selected the route down the 99 to Merced so we could hit more towns with more auto parts stores.

But assuming the Manteca Wal*Mart is the tire chains mecca the internet makes it out to be, or - better yet - the AutoZone in SF referred to above has my brand - I think we'll take the shorter route.

Would I be missing anything if I skip Modesto, Turlock and Merced???
