Bass lake/ Yosemite

Can't speak of Yosemite but Bass lake is awesome. Extremely cold right now, but if you can tour by boat the homes along the shore edge are cool! Been told the lake scenes from John Candy movie THE GREAT OUTDOORS was filmed there.

Yup... before 8am and after 8pm boats are restricted to 5 or 10mph and it’s the best time to fish... on a busy weekend you can find a few coves to drop a line and during the week is usually pretty nice. I’ve Never been in the winter... but I bet it’s beautiful.

Check out the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad. Your Daughter will love it... Great food & cabins at “The Forks” and Ice Cream & Burgers at “Millers Landing”

I just wrote this all down to give to the event coordinator (my wife). As we have no set plans but to get away and see new things. [emoji106] thank you!

Ok... I got some Winter Intel for Bass Lake... “The Forks” is closed, “Miller Landing” might be open... “The Pines Village” may have a couple things open and the Sugar Pine Train is closed... there is a ski slope called “Badger Pass” near by that should have sledding areas for the kid. The Lake is low but still has water... Here is a Shot from a couple days ago:

Yosemite will have maps and advice from Rangers when you pull in. The entrance is only about 20min from Bass Lake. You can enter Bass Lake through the town of Oakhurst or go the back way through O’neils Road (if coming from Fresno) which has more curves and is pretty scenic with ranch homes and rolling hills.... Have fun exploring. Can’t wait to see the pics.

I just heard Yosemite rangers are requiring 4x4 vehicles to Show that they have chains or cables in the vehicle but not requiring them to be installed.... I would confirm this on-line or call. Or if you have some, just throw em in the Jeep... My buddies father in law is there right now and they are getting hit with snow .... not sure when you’re going if it will be an issue....

I'll have to check that, thanks for the heads up. I'm about to head that way and will be there through Monday. Do you think they will check size ? I have some cables they just won't fit my 35s

It’s worth a shot.... and they definitely aren’t going to measure them.... worst case scenario if they call you on it, or force you to install... Oakhurst or Fresno should have some. I’m sure you’ll be fine. Drive safe. [emoji1360]
