Indian Flat RV Park, and the driving to
get there - including some tough situations and IMPORTANT information
for anyone going to Yosemite National Park in an RV. |
Photos taken out the window
of the moving RV (thus the glare) somewhere on the way from Three Rivers, California to El Portal, California |

ABOVE: two of many paintings
that were along the highway. I could not get a good shot of most of them,
but thought they were different and interesting. |

 IF
YOU DRIVE A RV, YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS: We had to unhitch our tow car from
the motorhome before we could drive up the mountain because vehicles over
45 feet were not allowed and there is a $270 fine. Our RV is 40 feet and
with the hitch and car we were 60 feet long. We had trouble finding a
spot big enough and flat enough to unhitch the car, but finally managed
to do so. |
|
BELOW: two narrow bridges
that Lee had to drive our motorhome through. They were both one-way bridges
so you had to wait at a traffic light, possibly up to 15 minutes, for
the clearance to drive across the bridge. This part was not so much fun. |

THE CURVY, TIGHT CORNERS
ON A NARROW MOUNTAIN ROAD THAT HAD TO BE MANEUVERED - IN THE RAIN - GOOD JOB LEE! |

 |
| Indian Flat RV Park is close to the entrance of Yosemite National Park and is nice enough, but not much in amenities. And remember the above mentioned vehicle length restriction, one-way narrow bridge, and the curvy narrow mountain road. No internet or cell phone reception in the campground, nor in Yosemite. | |
 |
|
| Just enough room for a person to walk between these two RV's. | One-inch of space between slide-out and the wall. |
 |
 |
Not too much room between
the slide out and the tree. |

A nice view from outside
the RV, but when looking out the window of the RV, there was a small tree
that blocked the view. Wish we could have cut the small tree down, but
of course that was not possible. |
