it was a beautiful day. and a gorgeous drive up the tioga pass.
we did pass through some the fire damaged trees. and it looks like they have the pine beetle here also.
we only had two campgrounds to pick from on Saturday night. most are closed and because of the spectacular weather the others were full. we got to the campground and the ranger said they had five spaces left. we got one of the last ones @ $7. a night.
we stayed here two nights. just hanging out. taking naps, playing dominos, watching everyone pack up and leave. by monday morning only 5 campsites were occupied out of 105.
poor people who have to work, had to leave. ha ha. we are very lucky, we have the whole week here. ha ha.
we drove to curry village yesterday. we’re starting to see some color now. most of yosemite is evergreen pine trees.
we got a glimpse of half dome as we got close to curry village.
curry village is near the base of half dome. we had to make our campsite reservations there. since it has been such spectacular weather, we were lucky to find one for the whole 6 days. we are in north pines campground, a short distance from here. they have wifi here so this is were i’ll do the blog.
maybe we’ll see a bear
almost a heart
we saw a deer as we ate breakfast this morning.
what’s next?
stay tuned
Once in awhile-now and again-this is us 
Now this looks like Heaven to me. I will be right there just wait a little and keep dinner hot.
You know he won’t! He takes your experiences as his vacations too. You have some pretty tree and mountain pictures. Your campsite is heavenly.
Very pretty scenery. Great campsites.
You brought back memories for me when I used to go camping with Michelle and my friend Bob longer ago than I want to admit. I remember the campsites on a Monday morning and how it felt deserted but somehow wonderfully inspiring all at once. I love Yosemite, too, and enjoying seeing it again through your eyes. Thanks.
Thanks for laughing at us schmucks who have to work! I hope Thuy and I are lucky enough to have your life when we reach your age!
Love the forest. I can practically here the trees from here. Enjoy!
thanks for all the comments. this is heavenly and we are enjoying every minute and realize how lucky we are because this is what we want to be doing. so keep working and saving tony,
