Our home in Sonoma Valley

One problem with getting back to the Bay Area from the Eastern Sierra in winter and even into spring is that most of the passes can become impassable in inclement weather. The only alternative in that case is making the long journey south to Bakersfield and then up I5. It adds 2 hours to the journey, but is always dependable. A forecast of possible snow in the morning was enough to send us south. The first part of the drive south from Bishop to Route 58 is highly scenic. I5 gets a bit monotonous, but it gets the job done.

The trip was great, but it certainly felt great to be sleeping in our own bed again.
