AWESOME YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK

Oh my goodness...we keep moving to the next national park and thinking we will be let down - since each one previously has been so awesome. However, each time, we are shocked in awed by the continued beauty of this country of ours. Today we drove the 38 miles into Yosemite (which we initially did not have in our sites as a stopover). Yosemite is huge...and as you will see by the photos...it is possibly my favorite national park (Ken is still hung up on the Grand Canyon - he claims when he walked out on one of the ledges, he could see beyond the horizon). There is one photo you will see and probably recongize as being a popular site in Yosemite. When we went through the tunnel and I saw this spectular scene before me there were tears in my eyes. It was most likely from being overwhelmed...and as we both stood there just shaking our heads and repeating "huh" over and over, it was difficult to walk away. Unfortunately a bus came up and there was a quick crowd, ruining the emotion. Now, I will have to say that the very long drive through the park, at the too fast speed Ken was comfortable driving the CRV, made my toes curl so tight in my hiking boots that I think I was tickling my own butt a couple of times (and we didn't even make it the 40 miles around twisting escalating and descending tight roads through the park this day). We saw a beautiful water fall, relatively up close and spectacular mountains and scenes of nature's beauty. It was a great day...can't wait for tomorrow.
Nite~
