Thanks Jim, yes I've read it is a haven for landscape photographers. Too bad I'm not much of a landscape photographer but I'll get my equipment ready for that. Shameless plug, but if you folks want to view my father's gallery, feel free:
Lester A. Garcia - Photographer Biography, Photography - photo.net
I still need to learn how to stop down my camera and use longer exposure settings to capture the veil of the falls nicely. I'm sure my father will beat me in every way (especially composition), but that's how I learn right?

Actually, they do have a nifty little market, great place to pick up some snacks for later, especially their cheese.
MB, I wasn't really meaning watch for overheating on the Grapevine, though by all means, you should always keep an eye out for it. I meant more on the smaller, slower, steeper roads once you get to the real mountains near Yosemite. The Grapevine is almost always moving along, allowing for easy cooling. It's the steep and winding ones that will get you!.

I forgot to acknowledge your response, but thanks. Yes, I'll keep an eye on things as we go along. My wife said I should take control of driving once the steep winding roads are upon us.
My friend tells me the place will be packed by as early as 9AM Friday (we plan to leave during the wee hours of Friday morning, maybe 2AM-ish). And that gas prices reached $8/gallon up there, back when it was $5/gallon down here.
