Thanks very much for the replies and infomation. Richard not sure coming back in winter would be an option for many years, as we are travelling from the UK.
Was told Groveland would be a lovely place to stay if we wanted to break up the journey between SF and Yosemite. In Vegas we won't mind the heat in the day as we would be at the pool.
Anyway you have given me plenty to think about! Cheers!
