Dear All Yay! Greetings from Yosemite National Park! This is probably the place on this trip that I've been most excited about visiting. There is something special I think in simply saying its name, as well as it being one of the world's first national parks. My visit has also come after my interest in Scottish explorer Join Muir, his rather eccentric way of looking at nature during a time when o... Read Full Entry

We didn't stay long enough
One of my regrets from our trip in California is that we didn't stay long enough in Yosemity NP. I know that there is a lot to see and that we missed most of it. Glad to see that you took the time to see more than us. /Ake

John Muir, the Giants and Serenity
John Muir shows us the positive impact one person can have in the world. We are lucky there are many of them including Teddy Roosevelt. We never tire is seeing those grand trees standing tall. I can picture you going all Mario Andretti on the roads. We are right there with you and big foot. Plus we've read Chariot of the Gods and are all in. You did some nice walks and exciting drives. Yeah Yosemite.

Lol - indeed, I think I did do a Mario Andretti on the roads up there...! I thought you might be with me on the Bigfoot thing - I remember discussing Chariots of the Gods with you. So much is left unexplained out there, there must be more to it than we think we know. Indeed, yeah Yosemite, Muir and Roosevelt!! :D

Terrific Road Trip!
You're dodging most of the tourists and seeing the park at an interesting time of year - between seasons. Those are great low angle shots of the trees in Mariposa.

Thank you!
Thank you! I'm glad I visited during the off-season, I'm not a big fan of large tourist numbers! I appreciate your encouraging comment on my photos from Mariposa.
