I left Hanford at about 4:30pm Friday after work, and stopped a couple of times for gas and a quick break. I made it thru to Coyote by 8:30pm. We setup our tents, and were sitting by the camp fire at about 9:15pm. It was nice and cool there.
Its a long drive if you want to make it in one day, by the time we got home the next day, we were beat. From Fresno, it shouldnt be too bad, but its still a long drive going up.
