(in the course of drafting...)
Departure of Las Vegas, passage by Death Valley, arrived to California.
To cross the imposing solid mass of the Nevada Sierra, it is still not known if one tries the passage in California by shortest in north (Tioga pass?) who is still snow-covered at this season, or by the south, longer. The rangers of Death Valley Park call the road service which indicates the opening of the collar the very same day. The arrival by north would enable us to enter Yosemite Park by Meadows, whereas the south offers to us an entry by the Giant sequoias. It will be impossible all to see in 2 days, then one takes the option prudence, without snow and with Giant sequoias.
Stop at exit of Death Valley to fill the tank and to taste an ice, in the torpor of the heat wave.
One passes by the south, one thus turns direction XXX...
Change of driver, I cannot about it any more.
Straight: direction Los Angeles, one turns on our left to join the West coast. Stop wee and gasoline at the exit of the HWXX. Plus far one road in rise twist in vast wide cactus embellished by the light saturated with the evening.
One goes along XXX, an "entertaining" city with nautical equipment in edge of lake, then descent along the river which runs with torrent, in direction of the plain of California.
The night fall but one decides to advance to the maximum to approach Yosemite tomorrow.
One stops eating in MacDo with Bekersfield), telephone to hold further a Motel 66 in Tulare or Merced?
The HWXXX is made plates of concrete which make jump the car at each joint, one would be believed 20 years ahead.
