Yosemite Cabin Information - cross post

With no offense meant to NA.'s sister-in-law, why would one travel another hour south to Madera and then head back north that same hour, thru Oakhurst and Wawona and then another 40 minutes on the windy Wawona Road almost all the way back to the same lattitude you would have been at when passing thru Merced on the 99 - from where you can head northwest into Yosemite on 140, All Year Highway along the Riverbed thru El Portal??


Wendy, look at a map.



If someone local were recommending I go more than an hour around about out of my way, I'd assume it would be for better road conditions. But the 140 is called the All Year Highway because it's never closed for snow, and runs into Yosemite without crossing any mountain passes.


So I don't get it. Sounds like changing planes in Denver to travel from Phoenix to Los Angeles.
