Great thanks for the speedy response! We're staying about an hours drive from Three Rivers entrance into the NP on the Generals Highway. Google maps thinks its 220miles to Lone Pine on US-395 which is where we planned to stay the night before heading on to LV on 190 through Death Valley. Would you still think its 12 hours from Sequoia NP to Long Pine using this paved back road? I hope not!

Thanks for your time by the way (and to everyones responses that have helped us plan out trip!)
