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 were taken out the window
of the moving RV (thus the glare)
somewhere on the way from Three Rivers, California to El Portal, California - April 30, 2009. |

ABOVE: Two of many paintings
that were along the highway. Karen Duquette 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: The two RV Gypsies had to unhitch their tow car from
the motorhome before they could drive up the mountain because vehicles over
45 feet are NOT allowed and there is a $270 fine. The RV of the two RV Gypsies is 40 feet and
with the hitch and car, they were 60 feet long. They 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 Duquette had to drive the motorhome through. They were both one-way bridges
so they had to wait at a traffic light about 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. | |
 |
|
Behind the two RV Gypsies' RV there was just enough room for a person to walk. RVs were parked back to back. Plus there was only one-inch of space between their slide-out and a wall. |
|
 |
 |
Not too much room between
the slide out and the tree. No room to put the awning out either. |

 |
 |
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. |

California photos are in 28 separate sections found below. Some sections may have more than one page so that the photos will upload faster. You may visit these sections in any order you choose. Each section will have this menu so that visitors do not have to keep returning here in order to continue the California adventures.
