There is a great book, that I use whenever I am cruising PCH, you can read about it here and look at our other book recommendations. The way we handle book reviews on this site, is that these are all personal recommendations of the reviewer -- we reject several titles each year -- if a review is published here -- then we personally use the product/book/CD/Map etc.Quote:

I'm pretty sure we won't have too many problems on that part of the trip, it's really the meandering around Death Valley and Yosemite on the way to Tahoe that I'm unclear about - working out A to B to C to D etc, and working out which side of them to drive through or skirt round, rather than taking one major road from LV to Tahoe etc that's confusing - though I need to have some patience and look at a map .... it wouldn't be the normal regular getting lost would it? I have visions of getting lost in Yosemite and getting eaten by bears.
Nah, those bears will be silky, fat and sleepy then. Right now is a different tale. The heavy snow pack has driven many of those hungry, irritated and grumpy "old timers" down into the campgrounds and parking lots. A few cars are getting "opened" without the benefit of keys and the park rangers are on high alert to keep run-ins between human guests and those groucy bears to a minimum. I have personal experience with some of those aforementioned bears in the high country of Yosemite. Not a trifling matter.Quote:
