Yosemite....or Trying to Unplug for a Few Days


We drove into the park at the Southern entrance and our camping space was near the North entrance so we got an overview of the park as we drove in.  Our space was in Dave’s view, “perfect”, and he was right.  We had plenty of privacy, and a fire ring.  We settled in and enjoyed steaks on the grill. 

Monday we drove down to Yosemite Village and enjoyed the Ansel Adams’ Gallery.  Deb bought some great books for the granddaughters,  while Dave worked with Becky and Ben to get some information he needed.  So much for being off the grid!    We discovered there was a good connection of bike paths around the meadows and sights of Yosemite Village so we enjoyed a great segway ride, catching sight of El Capitan,  Half Dome and the other sites of the village.  Back at camp, we enjoyed talking around the campfire with a JoAnn and Chuck from Michigan.  They will be exploring Yosemite on their Harley’s on Tuesday!

While we didn’t have Harleys, we enjoyed a trek up to Glacier Point and Tunnel View on Tuesday.  We ate a picnic lunch at Bridal Veil Falls and then went back to the village to catch the open air shuttle tour.
Words just can express the sites of Yosemite.  Basically, we rode around and looked at big rocks.  Even pictures don’t do it justice.  Just think these granite faces are taller than the Empire State Building!!
