Yeah, I agree going up to Reno seems a bit out of the way. I am going from to Sacramento to Tahoe via 50. It's a pretty easy route, where going 120 through Tioga pass always seems to take forever. Like I said previously, Google Maps says it's only 10 minutes longer to go via 50 to Tahoe over 120. We're stoping at Mammoth to go up the gondola to 11k feet to get in a little acclimation. We're heading out on Friday!
