Chicago to Yosemite

[pcowen]

Spring break is coming.  We are headed to Yosemite from Chicago.  Plan on taking southern itinerary (primarily I-40) in our 2014 Bounder towing a CRV.  We did same route to Grand Canyon last year.  Once I get west of Flaggstaff curious for feedback as best route to Yosemite to avoid elevations, planning on working over to Bakersfield before heading north to Fresno.

Have to go south then back up.  Stay on I-40 to Barstow, take 58 to 99 then north to 140.  You can't get in or out of CA without some long 6% grades
