Back in September, I had planned a trip up through the Sierra National Parks, with a specific goal to visit the newly-refurbished Mariposa Grove in Yosemite NP, followed by a night in Sacramento (I have an open invitation to sleep on a couch there (that couch is so comfortable as a bed that I have offered to buy it from my kids)), and the next day drive south down along the newly-refurbished Highway 1 through Big Sur. Then my driving license was suspended for a while, and now that I have it back Mariposa Grove is locked up because of the shutdown. I'm looking for alternatives, but all of them require betting on an end to the shutdown.
Call Cryin Chuck and Nasty Nancy and tell them....
