(Be sure to check out the videos we've added also! There is also a video of Memphis and San Francisco) As we drove into Yosemite it was clear we were leaving civilization and entering the wilderness. We had no radio stations, no cell phone reception, and our Bed & Breakfast was literally a small house on top of the mountain. We spent the first evening watching episodes of Entourage and getting a good nights rest before our day of exploring the national park. Yosemite itself is gorgeous with mo... read more

I learned a valuable lesson last night in how to keep warm when the temperature plummets after 9pm. I forgot to put the cover on my tent. By the time I got to it, it was open, well ventilated and cold. I threw the cover on, which somewhat helped (thank God my sleeping bag was warm), although it did not quite help my head which was cold. Of course at 3:00am- the hour of the Wolf I really had to pee. It took all of my energy to face the dark and chilly night and walk the however many feet it was to the bathroom. That said I made it through the night, ate dry cheerios and a banana and headed to Yosemite. First it was just winding roads and trees, pretty but not so ... read more

A relatively late start means not checking out until after 9am, and off I head to Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park, although Glacier Point is a little busier, even at this time in the morning, there is a reason, ad I say again WOW. The thing I will say about Yosemite is that to do it justice you would need to spend a lot more time in it than I did, a good 2/3 days spent driving and strolling around would have been better. Left Glacier point for San Francisco at around 11.30 and was in SF for about 4pm, journey was easy, although I wouldn't like to find my way around SF without SatNav. Only been in San Francisco for about 6hrs, but this place is a serious shoppers paradise, every store you have ... read more

Lisa and I spent a few days last week checking out Yosemite National Park in northeastern California. What an amazing place! Granite monoliths, beautiful streams, great hiking, crazy rock climbing, cinnamon bears and giant redwoods. We were quite amused as few snowflakes began to fall on the afternoon we arrived. Fortunately, it warmed up considerably after the first unseasonably chilly night. We spent the next couple of days hiking and biking around in the sunshine. Both of us were blown away by the seemingly-endless stunning scenery in Yosemite.... read more
