Google sez, from Oakland to Bishop:

  7 hours 23 minutes via Yosemite
  8 hours 9 minutes via Mojave (the southern route)
  9 hours 12 minutes via South Lake Tahoe

I've done all three routes.  Pick your poison.  You can trim a little
bit off of the Lake Tahoe route depending what passes you take (I was
being google lazy choosing way points); it takes you down through
Bridgeport and Lee Vining and ....  On the other hand the southern
route brings you up through Independence and Lone Pine and past
Manzanar.

I'm heading for Lee Vining, Bishop, etc.... tomorrow via Yosemite.

With a borrowed M9 as my only camera (no pressure now, is there?).
