@NevadaWolf : I was looking at your proposed route maps. I was up on CA 88 over the weekend, and wanted to let you know much of the highway between Caples Lake and Silver Lake, around Kirkwood, etc., has just received a bunch of paving work. These were absolutely the worst sections of the entire highway, having been badly chewed up by tire chains over the last several winters. It now has a new, glass smooth, coating of fresh asphalt over some long stretches. It's good and sticky! It's fast! It's really, really nice!

Before you decide on a route, you may want to check for future road work. It's also forest fire season, and when that happens roads can get closed too. The number to call for Cal-Trans Highway Conditions is 1-800-427-7623. Once connected, just punch in the highway number.
