We made it up to Bakersfield....things were really tense for a while. We saw a highway patrolman who had turned. Fortunately, we fell in with a couple of guys in a black classic Impala and they blew the zombie chippy away. They lead the way in their car up the rest of the way up the grapevine. My Bakersfield family is all fine and we're packing up their SUV and we'll take both cars up to Yosemite. I'm afraid I'm going to have to go radio silent after this.
Good luck to us all!
