It is a long and windy road that goes all the way up to Tioga Pass reputedly at an altitute of well over 9000 feet. Well I039ve done several high passes already on this trip and feel really fit so needless to say I039m not worried.The higher it gets the better it is getting. A peregrine falcon in the air its shrieks echoing do http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/California/Yosemite-National-Park/Tuolumne-Meadows/blog-345974.html Laura didn't journal an entry for today so you know what that means... Greg took her on another death march. We left Carson City in the morning and enjoyed the drive down to Yosemite. The East entrance to the park is at 10000 feet elevation which is also the highest pass in the Sierra mountains that has a road. We booked our campsite the night before and reserved it for 3 days. Tuolome has http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/California/Yosemite-National-Park/Tuolumne-Meadows/blog-333694.html Yosemite National Park is a huge area I have included a map in the photos to help the reader orient themselves so this narrative doesn't become overly cryptic. Before I get to the more relevant details a brief word on how we are dealing with the lack of clothing etc after getting rocked in Tahoe. The CrashPad has not yet become a problem since we haven't done any bouldering. We carted that thin http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/California/Yosemite-National-Park/Tuolumne-Meadows/blog-332369.html Rains ended properly in the morning which actually happen a lot in California when it does rain not sure why. We worried that the rains produced snows in Yosemite Mt.s where we were heading. Conflicting reports all around. Only day 1 of 3000 mile drive and we are moving pretty slowly in the a.m. Bringing together hundreds of last minute moving details has left us pooped and day dreaming o http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/California/Yosemite-National-Park/Tuolumne-Meadows/blog-331334.html Un da ms arriba todo el mundo...Es hora de ver cosas y andorrotearLos osos nos quieren http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/California/Yosemite-National-Park/Tuolumne-Meadows/blog-308267.html We had no trouble getting out of Yosemite Valley this morning even though road signs had changed and some of the closed road was now open. We were on Tioga Road by 830 am. It was drizzling in the valley and as we climbed altitude snow flurries fell. We took our time. There was little traffic. We enjoyed the alpine scenery and made our photo and geology stops. The winterrsquos snow still http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/California/Yosemite-National-Park/Tuolumne-Meadows/blog-280204.html They say a week is a long time in politics and whilst Irsquom sure thatrsquos the case it can feel a like an age when travelling. Seven days ago we were in the merciless heat of the Nevada desert revelling in the chaos and excitement of Las Vegas. As the sun rose today we strolled through an endless forest wilderness surrounded by deep snow our breath clouding in the freezing air.

Our first time in a city since we hyperventilated our way through Las Vegas if any of you have been in a city with Philippe you can probably imagine. We had an amazing host there Ryan. He is living the dream playing drums in a great band called Music For Animals. So what's my idea of a good host Someone who shares their life and space http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/California/Yosemite-National-Park/Tuolumne-Meadows/blog-169994.html Here it is after midnight while the rest of the world slumbers at least around me I sit up busy parking memories. Circa mid fifties. The Buick was the classic black and white. We'd load it to the hilt and off we'd go for our annual camping trip. Trust me. I knew where the middle of the seat was.
