jim_kish Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I found this out the hard way - I must have missed the update by 5 minutes. Checked the weather this a.m., all looked good so I headed toward Yosemite for a (long-planned) vacation. 5 hours of driving later I was turned around at Wawona. Now it's another 5 hours later, back at home... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh_sakols Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Check out the confluence of the S. Fork of the Merced with the Merced along HWY 140. I left work early just so I could get over the bridge.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_gillette Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 Open again but it sure reminds us to check conditions - a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon_woodward Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Doh...poor Jim, that must've been frustrating to get all that way and get turned back? Was the flooding anything like back in '97(?) or just normal winter flooding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel_smith6 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 The valley isn't closed, just some of the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
