Last Wednesday Yum and I drove up to Wawona campground in the southern part of Yosemite to meet my dad.

After setting up our tent to drove up to Glacier Point for some spectacular pics.

We camped out Wednesday night next to the river, and I fell asleep listening to the roar of the rapids near our tent.

The next day Yum and I drove down to the valley and snapped some more photos. We had coffee at Curry Village and grabbed some sandwiches at Degnan’s Deli in Yosemite Village. The valley was sooo crowded! The waterfalls were awesome.

Look at all that water under Swinging Bridge.

We left for the high country, driving up Tioga Pass road. More pics.

It began to snow. I started to get a little worried, since we were driving the Yaris and didn’t have 4 wheel drive or chains. We cut our trip short and decided to get out of the mountains before we got stuck.

Out the eastern exit of the park and down to highway 395. Yum persuaded me to drive south a bit to the June Lake Loop, since I’ve never been there.

I was impressed. I didn’t expect to find places like that in the eastern Sierras. Lots of snow and pine trees and water and creeks and lakes. Very nice.

I napped while Yum drove us to Minden.

Then we took highway 50 home.

Lots of new red ink for our map of California. Some pics here!
