You might have to take 140 into Yosemite as I think 120/Big Oak Flat road is closed.
FOR YOSEMITE NAT'L PARK ROAD INFORMATION CALL 209-372-0200

If do you end up doing so.... when you hit the 140 and roll through Merced (not sure which way), you'll be in my neck, of the woods... don't talk to strangers, rule #1.The tweeker and gangsters along that corridor are not very nice... but down here, you gotta look at the street people most.... Like the bears in Yosemite, these dudes will break into your bus for TP.
Stop at the local liqure stores and you can get stuff that isn't on the shelves... could be your bag(?).
The town motto is: The Gateway to Yosemite
Subservience...  It's like saying you're famous because you hang out with 'Dude', who is the famous one. 
If you already have gas... keep passing through, nuthin' to see here man.

| Most state parks are now $16+ a day for day use, quite a bit more for overnight camping. |

Hi guys,
thanks for the answers again, I went to Joshua Tree yesterday and it was amazing.
We reserved a minivan from LAX for the 23rd, we want to overnight at death valley park for a couple of days, then move to the coastline but we will not go to San Fran because my flight back is on the 28th from LAX.
Can I ask you if is there a nice campground in the surroundings of LAX (3-4 hours driving at least...). Because I need to go to LAX also on 27th to pick down a friend there.
What part of the coastline do I must see, not far from death valley... (may be big sur is too far...)

I saw there's some campground in the Big Sur,
which one is the best for you?
I think we can overnight once at wildrose camp in death valley, take a lap of the artists drive and then another night may be at mesquite spring campground.
Then go down to the coastline to hit the big sur!
is it a good plan in your opinion?
Thank you...

what do you mean with north?
san jose or more?
I will miss syncro de majo as well!!
Is there any campground inside or next to LA?
Or is it better for me to get a motel in LA and then a quick view of the city?
thanx
